Abstract excerpt
1. Whole cell patch clamping of transfected HEK293 cells was used to examine the effects of a pentapeptide (KIFMK) containing the proposed inactivation particle of the Na+ channel on two mutations causing myotonia. One mutation (R1448P) is located in the voltage sensor IV/S4, and the other one (G1306E) near the postulated inactivation gate within the III-IV linker. 2. In the absence of peptide, currents of...
