Function
Pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated sodium channel complex through which Na(+) ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Alternates between resting; activated and inactivated states . Required for normal muscle fiber excitability; normal muscle contraction and relaxation cycles; and constant muscle strength in the presence of fluctuating K(+) levels .
