Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the skeletal muscle voltage-gated Na+ channel alpha-subunit have been found in patients with two distinct hereditary disorders of sarcolemmal excitation: hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP) and paramyotonia congenita (PC). Six of these mutations have been functionally expressed in a heterologous cell line (tsA201 cells) using the recombinant human skeletal muscle Na+ channel alpha-subunit cDNA...
