Na+ Channel β Subunits: Overachievers of the Ion Channel Family
WJ Brackenbury, LL Isom - Frontiers in pharmacology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGSCs) in mammals contain a pore-forming α subunit and
one or more β subunits. There are five mammalian β subunits in total: β1, β1B, β2, β3, and …
