Abstract excerpt
Charge reversing, neutralizing and substituting mutations at D1309 and EE1314,15 in the DIII-DIV linker of the human skeletal muscle sodium channel hNav1.4 were constructed and expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The effects of these mutations on conductance, inactivation and deactivation were determined using on-cell macropatches. D1309R caused a depolarizing shift of the conductance-voltage (g(V)) curve and increased...
