name: voltage-gated sodium channel protein
def: "A voltage-gated ion channel protein that has voltage-gated sodium channel activity. A voltage-gated sodium channel enables the transmembrane transfer of a sodium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded." [PRO:XQ, GO:0005248]
