Sodium channels are Integral membrane proteins that form Ion channels, conducting sodium ions ( Na+) through a cell's Plasma membrane Recent studies have associated a defect in SCN9A with congenital insensitivity to pain. Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIPA also known as congenital analgia, is a rare condition where a person cannot feel (and has never felt physical Pain. [1]
