Uncoupling sodium channel dimers rescues phenotype of pain-linked Nav1.7 mutation
2019-07-27
Abstract excerpt
The voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7 is essential for an adequate perception of painful stimuli. Its mutations cause various pain syndromes in human patients. The hNav1.7/A1632E mutation induces symptoms of erythromelalgia and paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD), and its main gating change is a strongly enhanced persistent current. Using molecular simulations, we demonstrate that the disease causing persist...
