Modulation of sodium-channel mRNA levels in rat skeletal muscle.
Action potentials in many types of excitable cells result from changes in permeability to Na ions. Although these permeability changes in nerve and muscle are mediated by voltage-gated Na channels that are functionally similar, we found that the Na-channel gene expressed in skeletal muscle is different from the genes coding for two Na channels (type I and type II) in brain. Despite the structur...
متن کاملLocalization of sodium channel subtypes in adult rat skeletal muscle using channel-specific monoclonal antibodies.
Five monoclonal antibodies specific for the 260 kDa subunit of the rat skeletal muscle sodium channel were used to probe the distribution of this channel in adult muscle. All the antibodies reacted with the surface membrane of fast- and slow-twitch fibers in the rat anterior tibial and soleus muscles. Immunoreactivity was also present in the endplate region; this was significantly more intense ...

متن کاملGenotype-phenotype correlations in human skeletal muscle sodium channel diseases.
BACKGROUND Over the past 3 years, the genetics of the myotonic diseases have been substantially elaborated. Three genetically different groups of myotonic disease can be discerned: (1) the chloride channel myotonias, (2) the adynamia-paramyotonia complex, and (3) myotonic dystrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS Electrophysiology has suggested and molecular biology has proven that the diseases belongin...
متن کاملSodium channel gating currents in frog skeletal muscle
Charge movements similar to those attributed to the sodium channel gating mechanism in nerve have been measured in frog skeletal muscle using the vaseline-gap voltage-clamp technique. The time course of gating currents elicited by moderate to strong depolarizations could be well fitted by the sum of two exponentials. The gating charge exhibits immobilization: at a holding potential of -90 mV th...
