Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated sodium channels in peripheral nerves conduct nociceptive signals from nerve endings to the spinal cord. Mutations in voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.7 are responsible for a number of severe inherited pain syndromes, including inherited erythromelalgia (IEM). Here, we describe the negative shifts in the voltage dependence of activation in the bacterial sodium channel NaVAb as a result of the...
