Fibroblast growth factor 14 is an intracellular modulator of voltage‐gated sodium channels
15 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Genetic ablation of the fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) 14 gene in mice or a missense mutation in Fgf14 in humans causes ataxia and cognitive deficits. These phenotypes suggest that the neuronally expressed Fgf14 gene is essential for regulating normal neuronal activity. Here, we demonstrate that FGF14 interacts directly with multiple voltage-gated Na(+) (Nav) channel alpha subunits heterologously expressed in...
