"While there are several subtypes of VGSC found upregulated in a number of carcinomas, breast cancer in particular, there is distinctively high expression of the ‘neonatal’ splice variant of the cardiac VGSC isoform, Nav1.5 (nNav1.5) that potentiates motility, migration, and invasion of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro and metastasis in vivo [10]."

"The fact that neither pharmacologic nor genetic knockdown of SCN5A inhibited cell invasion completely may be explained by the presence of other mechanisms that contribute to cell invasion, existence of additional functional isoforms (such as Na v 1.8, encoded by SCN10A, the most TTX resistant isoform; see XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY), or simply incomplete gene knockdown."
