Abstract excerpt
Voltage-dependent sodium channels are responsible of the rising phase of the action potential in excitable cells. These integral membrane proteins are composed of a pore-forming α-subunit, and one or more auxiliary β subunits. Mutation p.Asp25Asn (D25N; c.73G > A) of the β1 subunit, coded by the gene SCN1B, has been reported in a patient with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizure plus type 1 (GEFS+). In human...
