Sodium channel protein type 2 subunit alpha, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCN2A gene.^[5] Functional sodium channels contain an ion conductive alpha subunit and one or more regulatory beta subunits. Sodium channels which contain sodium channel protein type 2 subunit alpha are sometimes called Na_v1.2 channels.
