Abstract excerpt
FMRFamide-gated Na(+) channel (FaNaC) is a peptide-gated sodium channel in the epithelial Na(+) channel/degenerin family. Although there are some data on the location of the putative peptide binding site, there is no structural information on the activation gating of FaNaC. Here, we addressed the function of a conserved aspartate residue in the second transmembrane domain of FaNaC. We used Aplysia kurodai FaNaC...
