    Induction of sodium channel clustering by oligodendrocytes

    As oligodendrocytes wrap axons of the central nervous system (CNS) with insulating myelin sheaths, sodium channels that are initially continuously distributed along axons become segregated into regularly spac...

    The Role of Nonprotein Domains in the Function and Synthesis of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels

    Due to its central role in the generation of the nervous impulse, the sodium channel of nerve and muscle has been the most extensively studied of all voltage-gated ion channels. While most of the early work fo...

    Distribution of (Na++K+)ATPase and sodium channels in skeletal muscle and electroplax

    The distributions of (Na+ + K+)ATPase and sodium channels in skeletal muscle fibres and electrocytes were determined by immunofluorescent and immunoelectron microscopic techniques using antibodies against rat and...

    The molecular mechanisms of anaesthesia

    IT is generally accepted that neutral anaesthetics, such as the n-alkanols and n-alkanes, act from a hydrophobic site1. Discussion has tended to focus on the nature of this site and, particularly, whether it is l...
