Two distinct mechanisms for Na <sub>v</sub> 1.7 null analgesia
2024-02-12
Abstract excerpt
Genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition are distinct approaches to unravelling pain mechanisms, identifying targets and developing new analgesics. Both approaches have been applied to the voltage-gated sodium channels Na v 1.7 and Na v 1.8. Genetic deletion of Na v 1.8 in mice leads to a loss of pain, and antagonists are effective analgesics. Complete embryonic loss of Na v 1.7 in humans or in mouse se...
