The β1-subunit of Na(v)1.5 cardiac sodium channel is required for a dominant negative effect through α-α interaction.
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited autosomal dominant cardiac channelopathy. Several mutations on the cardiac sodium channel Na(v)1.5 which are responsible for BrS lead to misfolded proteins that do not traffic properly to the plasma membrane.
