Abstract excerpt
Fast Na+ channel inactivation is thought to involve binding of phenylalanine 1489 in the hydrophobic cluster IFM in L(III-IV) of the rat brain type IIA Na+ channel. We have analyzed macroscopic and single channel currents from Na+ channels with mutations within and adjacent to hydrophobic clusters in L(III-IV). Substitution of F1489 by a series of amino acids disrupted inactivation to different extents. The...
