Abstract excerpt
We have studied the expression in frog oocytes of the alpha-subunit of the rat skeletal muscle sodium channel mutation S798F, homologous to the mutation S804F of the human isoform, that causes potassium aggravated myotony (PAM), a muscular hereditary disease in humans. Wild type channels show a bimodal inactivation, with two gating modes that inactivate with time constants that differ at least by one order of...
