Electrophysiology and beyond: multiple roles of Na+ channel β subunits in development and disease.
Neuroscience letters - 10 Dec 2010
Patino Gustavo A, Isom Lori L
Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated Na+ channel (VGSC) β Subunits are not "auxiliary." These multi-functional molecules not only modulate Na+ current (I(Na)), but also function as cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)-playing roles in aggregation, migration, invasion, neurite outgrowth, and axonal fasciculation. β subunits are integral members of VGSC signaling complexes at nodes of Ranvier, axon initial segments, and cardiac intercalated...
