Abstract excerpt
Gain-of-function mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 cause severe inherited pain syndromes, including inherited erythromelalgia (IEM). The structural basis of these disease mutations, however, remains elusive. Here, we focused on three mutations that all substitute threonine residues...
