Splice variants of Na(V)1.7 sodium channels have distinct β subunit-dependent biophysical properties.

Genes encoding the α subunits of neuronal sodium channels have evolutionarily conserved sites of alternative splicing but no functional differences have been attributed to the splice variants. Here, using Na(V)1.7 as an exemplar, we show that the sodium channel isoforms are functionally distinct whe...
