Ionic selectivity and thermal adaptations within the voltage-gated sodium channel family of alkaliphilic Bacillus [PDF]

eLife, 2014
Entry and extrusion of cations are essential processes in living cells. In alkaliphilic prokaryotes, high external pH activates voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav), which allows Na+ to enter and be used as substrate for cation/proton antiporters ...

Propofol inhibits the voltage-gated sodium channel NaChBac at multiple sites. [PDF]

, 2018
Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels are important targets of general anesthetics, including the intravenous anesthetic propofol. Electrophysiology studies on the prokaryotic NaV channel NaChBac have demonstrated that propofol promotes channel activation ...

Unmasking of Brugada syndrome by lamotrigine in a patient with pre-existing epilepsy: A case report with review of the literature

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac channelopathy arising from mutations in voltage-gated cardiac sodium channels. Idiopathic epilepsy portrays a coalescent underlying pathophysiological mechanism pertaining to the premature excitation of neuronal ...

Nomenclature of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels [PDF]

Neuron, 2000
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels mediate calcium influx in response to membrane depolarization and regulate intracellular processes such as contraction, secretion, neurotransmission, and gene expression. They are members of a gene superfamily of transmembrane ion channel proteins that includes voltage-gated K+ and Na+ channels.

Calmodulin Interactions with Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2021
Calmodulin (CaM) is a small protein that acts as a ubiquitous signal transducer and regulates neuronal plasticity, muscle contraction, and immune response. It interacts with ion channels and plays regulatory roles in cellular electrophysiology. CaM modulates the voltage-gated sodium channel gating process, alters sodium current density, and regulates ...
