Abstract excerpt
Functional comparison of skeletal muscle (rSkM1) and cardiac (hH1) voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells showed rSkM1 half-activation (V(a)) and inactivation (V(i)) voltages 7 and 10 mV more depolarized than hH1 V(a) and V(i), respectively. Internal papain perfusion removed fast inactivation from each isoform and caused a 20-mV hyperpolarizing shift in hH1 V(a), with an...
