Paranodal Axoglial Junctions, an Essential Component in Axonal Homeostasis
In vertebrates, a high density of voltage-gated Na+ channel at nodes of Ranvier and of voltage-gated K+ channel at juxtaparanodes is necessary for rapid propagation of action potential, that is, for saltatory conduction in myelinated axons. Myelin loops attach to the axonal membrane and form paranod...
