Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Sodium channel β-subunit 4 , also known as SCN4B or Naβ4, is an auxiliary sodium channel subunit that can alter the kinetics of sodium channels.[ 5] The protein is encoded by the SCN4B gene .[ 6] Mutations in the SCN4B are associated with long QT syndrome .[ 7]
SCN4B might additionally function as a cell adhesion molecule.[ 8] [ 9]
