Structure of voltage-modulated sodium-selective NALCN-FAM155A channel complex
The NALCN channel mediates sodium leak currents, which in turn adjusts resting membrane potential and neuronal excitability. Here the authors describe a cryo-EM structure of mammalian NALCN-FAM155A channel complex, showing how selectivity filter contributes to sodium permeation and calcium block and...

Summary: | The NALCN channel mediates sodium leak currents, which in turn adjusts resting membrane potential and neuronal excitability. Here the authors describe a cryo-EM structure of mammalian NALCN-FAM155A channel complex, showing how selectivity filter contributes to sodium permeation and calcium block and how the voltage sensors contribute to current modulation. |
