2019-12-10
Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated sodium channel isoform Na V 1.7 is highly expressed in small diameter dorsal root ganglion neurons and is obligatory for nociceptive signal transmission. Genetic gain-of-function and loss-of-function Na V 1.7 mutations have been identified in select individuals, and are associated with episodic extreme pain disorders and insensitivity to pain, respectively.
