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.
Lunar node about 0.94901 Gregorian year, as do descending-node eclipses. The nodes are called by different names in different areas of the world. In ancient European texts, the ascending node is referred to as the dragon's head ("Caput Draconis", or "Anabibazon"). Its symbol is , the astronomical and astrological symbol for the dragon's head. By the same analogy, the descending node is also known as the dragon's tail ("Cauda Draconis", or "Catabibazon"), and its symbol is the inversion of that of the ascending node: . In Hindu astronomy, the ascending node ☊ is called "Rahu" and the descending node ☋ is called
