Abstract excerpt
Recent reports suggest that four S6 C-termini may jointly close the voltage-gated cation channel at the cytoplasmic side, probably as an inverted teepee structure. In this study we substituted individually a total of 18 residues at D1S6 and D4S6 C-terminal ends of the rNav1.4 Na(+) channel alpha-subunit with tryptophan (W) and examined their corresponding gating properties when expressed in Hek293t cells along...
