Some TTX-sensitive sodium channels open transiently during recovery from inactivation, generating a "resurgent" sodium current that flows immediately following action potentials. In this issue of Neuron, Grieco and colleagues present evidence that resurgent sodium current results from a novel form of inactivation in which the cytoplasmic tail of the beta4 subunit acts as a classic open-channel blocker.
一些对河豚毒素敏感的钠通道在从失活状态恢复过程中短暂开放,产生一种“复苏”钠电流,该电流在动作电位之后立即流动。在本期《神经元》杂志中,格里eco及其同事提供证据表明,复苏钠电流源自一种新的失活形式,其中β4亚基的胞质尾部充当经典的开放通道阻滞剂。
