Abstract excerpt
Transmembrane segment 6 is implicated in slow inactivation (SI) of voltage-gated Na(+) channels (Na(v)s). To further study its role and understand differences between SI phenotypes of different Na(v) isoforms, we analyzed several domain 2-segment 6 (D2-S6) mutants of the human cardiac hNa(v)1.5, which is relatively resistant to SI. Mutants were examined by transient HEK cell transfection and patch-clamp recording...
