Voltage-gated Sodium Channels and Blockers: An Overview and Where Will They Go?

Abstract excerpt

Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are critical players in the generation and propagation of action potentials by triggering membrane depolarization. Mutations in Nav channels are associated with a variety of channelopathies, which makes them relevant targets for pharmaceutical intervention. So far, the cryoelectron microscopic structure of the human Nav1.2, Nav1.4, and Nav1.7 has been reported, which sheds...
