Abstract excerpt
We have studied the expression in frog oocytes of the alpha subunit of the rat skeletal muscle sodium channel mutation T1306M, homologous to the mutation T1313M of the human isoform that causes the muscular hereditary disease paramyotonia congenita. Wild-type (WT) channels show a bimodal behavior, with two gating modes characterized by inactivation time constants that differ at least by one order of magnitude and...
