Voltage-gated sodium channels are essential proteins in brain physiology, as they generate the sodium currents that initiate neuronal action potentials. Voltage-gated sodium channels expression, localisation and function are regulated by a range of transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms. Here, we review our understanding of regulation of brain voltage-gated sodium channels, in particular SCN1A (NaV1.1), SCN2A (NaV1.2), SCN3A (NaV1.3) and SCN8A (NaV1.6), by transcription factors, by alternative splicing, and by post-translational modifications. Our focus is strongly centred on recent research lines, and newly generated knowledge.
电压门控钠通道是脑生理学中的重要蛋白质,因为它们产生引发神经元动作电位的钠电流。电压门控钠通道的表达、定位和功能受一系列转录和翻译后机制调控。在此,我们综述对脑电压门控钠通道,特别是SCN1A(NaV1.1)、SCN2A(NaV1.2)、SCN3A(NaV1.3)和SCN8A(NaV1.6),在转录因子、可变剪接和翻译后修饰方面调控的理解。我们的重点强烈集中于最近的研究方向和新产生的知识。
