Abstract excerpt
Pyrethroid insensitivity in resistant (kdr) insects has been correlated with a leucine to phenylalanine replacement in the S6 transmembrane segment of domain II of the axonal sodium channel alpha(para)-subunit. An alpha-subunit of rat brain type II sodium channel containing this mutation has been expressed and its sensitivity to permethrin compared with that of the wild-type channel. The steady-state activation...
