Structure of the human sodium leak channel NALCN in complex with FAM155A
NALCN, a sodium leak channel, plays a key role in regulating the resting membrane potential and controlling neuronal excitability. Here the authors report a cryo-EM structure of human NALCN in complex with FAM155A, that with complementary functional analyses provide insights on its ion selectivity,...
