Abstract excerpt
Mutations in voltage-gated Na+ channels have been linked to several channelopathies leading to a wide variety of diseases including cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy, and myotonia. We have previously demonstrated that voltage-gated Na+ channel (Nav)1.5 trafficking-deficient mutant channels could lead to a dominant negative effect by impairing trafficking of the wild-type (WT) channel. We also reported that...
