Shellfish Toxins Targeting Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) play a central role in the generation and propagation of action potentials in excitable neurons and other cells and are targeted by commonly used local anesthetics, antiarrhythmics, and anticonvulsants. They are also

Photocontrol of Voltage-Gated Ion Channel Activity by Azobenzene Trimethylammonium Bromide in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes. [PDF]
The ability of azobenzene trimethylammonium bromide (azoTAB) to sensitize cardiac tissue excitability to light was recently reported. The dark, thermally relaxed trans- isomer of azoTAB suppressed spontaneous activity and excitation propagation speed ...

Light-Induced Control of Voltage Gated Ion Channels
Voltage gated ion channels are transmembrane proteins responsible for the generation and propagation of action potentials in excitable cells. They are key targets in receptor pharmacology, since the simple actions of opening and closing their pore with ...

Advances in the role of intestinal ion channels in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome [PDF]
Ion channels are widely present in mucous membranes of the digestive tract, their abnormal expression and(or) function are important pathogenic mechanisms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Glutathione accelerates sodium channel inactivation in excised rat axonal membrane patches [PDF]
The effects of glutathione were studied on the gating behaviour of sodium channels in membrane patches of rat axons. Depolarizing pulses from –120 to –40 mV elicited sodium currents of up to 500 pA, indicating the simultaneous activation of up to 250 ...

Kv7 and Kv11 channels in myometrial regulation.
Ion channels play a key role in defining myometrial contractility. Modulation of ion channel populations is proposed to underpin gestational changes in uterine contractility associated with the transition from uterine quiescence to active labour.

Ca2+ entry through NaV channels generates submillisecond axonal Ca2+ signaling
Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential for many cellular signaling mechanisms and enter the cytosol mostly through voltage-gated calcium channels. Here, using high-speed Ca2+ imaging up to 20 kHz in the rat layer five pyramidal neuron axon we found that ...

The pharmacology of voltage-gated sodium channel activators [PDF]
Toxins and venom components that target voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels have evolved numerous times due to the importance of this class of ion channels in the normal physiological function of peripheral and central neurons as well as cardiac and skeletal muscle.
