Abstract excerpt
High densities of sodium channels at nodes of Ranvier permit action potential conduction and depend on betaIV spectrins, a family of scaffolding proteins linked to the cortical actin cytoskeleton. To investigate the molecular organization of nodes, we analyzed qv(3J)"quivering" mice, whose betaIV...
