NaV-b subunits associate with the NaV-a or pore-forming subunit of the voltage-dependent sodium channel and play critical roles in channel expression, voltage dependence of the channel gating, cell adhesion, signal transduction, and channel pharmacology.
Five NaV-b subunits have been identified in humans, all of them implicated in many primary arrhythmia syndromes that cause sudden death or neurologic disorders, including long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, cardiac conduction disorders, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuropsychiatric disorders.
