Abstract excerpt
In neuronal sodium channels of squid giant axons, recovery from QX-222 block is slowed by hyperpolarization. However, in ventricular cells, hyperpolarization speeds recovery. Previously, we showed that isoform-specific residues in the external side of the cardiac sodium channel isoform (D1P-loop C373 and D4S6 T1752) influence use-dependent block (UDB) by lidocaine. To determine whether these isoformspecific...
