Abstract excerpt
Both tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) and TTX-resistant (TTX-R) voltage-dependent Na+ channels are expressed in the human neuroblastoma cell line NB-1, but a gene encoding the TTX-R Na+ channel has not been identified. In this study, we have cloned cDNA encoding the alpha subunit of the TTX-R Na+ channel in NB-1 cells and designated it hNbR1. The longest open reading frame of hNbR1 (accession no. AB158469) encodes...
