Deciphering in silico the Role of Mutated NaV1.1 Sodium Channels in Enhancing Trigeminal Nociception in Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 3
Familial hemiplegic migraine type 3 (FHM3) is caused by gain-of-function mutations in the SCN1A gene that encodes the α1 subunit of voltage-gated NaV1.1 sodium channels. The high level of expression of NaV1.1 channels in peripheral trigeminal neurons may lead to abnormal nociceptive signaling thus c...
