Introduction to Sodium Channels
2014Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are present in many tissue types within the human body including both cardiac and neuronal tissues. Like other channels, VGSCs activate, deactivate, and inactivate in response to changes in membrane potential.

Human and mouse genetic studies have led to significant advances in our understanding of the role of voltage-gated sodium channels in pain pathways. In this chapter, we focus on Nav1.7, Nav1.8, Nav1.9 and Nav1.3 and describe the insights gained from the detailed analyses of global and conditional transgenic Nav knockout mice in terms of pain behaviour.

Tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channels
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 19941. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) has been widely used as a chemical tool for blocking Na+ channels. However, reports are accumulating that some Na+ channels are resistant to TTX in various tissues and in different animal species. Studying the sensitivity of Na+ channels to TTX may provide us with an insight into the evolution of Na+ channels. 2.

Neurology, 2007
Voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels play a key role in membrane excitation in neurons. These channels have a critical role in the development and maintenance of several pain syndromes, including inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and central pain associated with spinal cord injury.1–4 The increasing understanding of the molecular organization ...

Science, 2019
Ion Channels Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels have been implicated in cardiac and neurological disorders. There are many subtypes of these channels, making it challenging to develop specific therapeutics. A core α subunit is sufficient for voltage sensing and ion conductance, but function is modulated by β subunits and by natural toxins that can ...

Bacterial Sodium Channels: Models for Eukaryotic Sodium and Calcium Channels
2014Eukaryotic sodium and calcium channels are made up of four linked homologous but different transmembrane domains. Bacteria express sodium channels comprised of four identical subunits, each being analogous to a single homologous domain of their eukaryotic counterparts.
