    Ionic selectivity and thermal adaptations within the voltage-gated sodium channel family of alkaliphilic Bacillus

    Paul G DeCaen, Yuka Takahashi ... David E Clapham
    Not all members of the bacteria sodium channel family are sodium channels - those found in Bacillus are highly adaptable and can be converted into many selectivity types.

    Gi/o protein-coupled receptors in dopamine neurons inhibit the sodium leak channel NALCN

    Fabian Philippart, Zayd M Khaliq
    The sodium leak NALCN channel functions as a core effector of GABA-B and D2 receptors that is used along with GIRK channels to regulate action potential firing in dopamine neurons.

    A-type FHFs mediate resurgent currents through TTX-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels

    Yucheng Xiao, Jonathan W Theile ... Theodore R Cummins
    A-type fibroblast growth factor homologous factors generate resurgent currents in tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channels, increase repetitive firing of sensory neurons, and provide a potentially important target for pain treatment strategies.
