Nav1.5 kb. The gene consists of 28 exons, of which exon 1 and in part exon 2 form the 5’ untranslated region (5’UTR) and exon 28 the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of the RNA. SCN5A is part of a family of 10 genes that encode different types of sodium channels, i.e. brain-type (Na1.1, Na1.2, Na1.3, Na1.6), neuronal channels (Na1.7, Na1.8 and Na1.9), skeletal muscle channels (Na1.4) and the cardiac sodium channel Na1.5. SCN5A is mainly expressed in the heart, where expression is abundant in working myocardium and conduction tissue. In contrast, expression is low in the sinoatrial node and atrioventricular node.
Blank node Blank node In RDF, a blank node (also called "bnode") is a node in an RDF graph representing a resource for which a URI or literal is not given. The resource represented by a blank node is also called an anonymous resource. According to the RDF standard a blank node can only be used as subject or object of an RDF triple. Blank nodes can be denoted through blank node identifiers in the following formats, RDF/XML, RDFa, Turtle, N3, N-Triples, and RDFa. The following example shows how it works in RDF/XML. The blank node identifiers are only limited in scope
