Abstract excerpt
The type IIA voltage-gated sodium Na(+) channel from rat brain is composed of a large, pore-forming alpha subunit and the auxiliary subunits beta1 and beta2. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the beta1 subunit modulates the gating properties of the type IIA alpha subunit, resulting in acceleration of both inactivation and recovery from inactivation and in a negative shift in the voltage dependence of fast...
