Abstract excerpt
The spectrin cytoskeleton has an important function in the targeting of proteins to excitable membrane domains. In axons, βIV-spectrin stabilizes voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel clusters at nodes of Ranvier and axon initial segments, two regions crucial for the generation and conduction of action potentials. Here, I investigated the physiology of the neuromuscular junction and peripheral nerves in quivering-3J...
