Role of N- and C- termini in inactivation of sodium channel in weakly electric fish

The weakly electric fish Sternopygus macrurus emits an electric organ discharge (EOD) composed of a series of pulses. The EOD pulse is mainly shaped by sodium currents. There are two sodium channel α subunits orthologs of the mammalian Nav1.4 expressed in the EO of Sternopygus. Previous studies iden...
