Abstract excerpt
Pyrethroid insecticides modify the gating of voltage-gated sodium channels, thus disrupting the function of the nervous system. In Drosophila melanogaster, para encodes a functional sodium channel. Drosophila Sodium Channel 1 (DSC1), although considered as a putative sodium channel gene for decades due to its high sequence similarity with sodium channels, encodes a voltage-gated cation channel with high...
