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. [ http://amigo.geneontology.org/amigo/term/GO:0005248 PRO:XQ ]
