Disease

SCN2B_HUMAN Familial atrial fibrillation. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Genetic variations in SCN2B may be involved in Brugada syndrome (PubMed:23559163). This tachyarrhythmia is characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body. When this situation occurs, the individual will faint and may die in a few minutes if the heart is not reset.[1]

Function

SCN2B_HUMAN Crucial in the assembly, expression, and functional modulation of the heterotrimeric complex of the sodium channel. The subunit beta-2 causes an increase in the plasma membrane surface area and in its folding into microvilli. Interacts with TNR may play a crucial role in clustering and regulation of activity of sodium channels at nodes of Ranvier (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 represents a promising target for pain relief. Here we report the cryo-EM structures of the human Nav1.7-beta1-beta2 complex bound to two combinations of pore blockers and gating modifier toxins (GMTs), tetrodotoxin with Protoxin-II and saxitoxin with Huwentoxin-IV, both determined at overall resolutions of 3.2 A. The two structures are nearly identical except for minor shifts of VSDII, whose S3-S4 linker accommodates the two GMTs in a similar manner. One additional Protoxin-II sits on top of the S3-S4 linker in VSDIV The structures may represent an inactivated state with all four VSDs "up" and the intracellular gate closed. The structures illuminate the path toward mechanistic understanding of the function and disease of Nav1.7 and establish the foundation for structure-aided development of analgesics.
