SCN5A

A gene on chromosome 3p21 that encodes an integral membrane protein and tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit, which is expressed primarily in cardiac myocytes and is responsible beginning the action potential as seen on an ECG/EKG.
 
Molecular pathology
SCN5A mutations are long QT syndrome type 3.

Although inhibition of the hERG channel (human ether-a-go-go-related gene) regulating the major repolarizing current in the heart, IKr (delayed inward potassium current), is the most common mechanism of QT prolongation [4, 5], it can also be caused by the drug triggered inhibition of other channels, that is, potassium (Kv7.1), sodium (Nav1.5), or calcium (Cav1.2) [6-9].
