Voltage-dependent sodium channel protein (Nav channel)
- Target
- Nav channel
- Molecular classification
- Ion channel, Voltage-gated ion channel
01
Overview
Voltage-dependent sodium channels are essential molecular machines enabling rapid electrical signaling throughout animal tissues. Their complex structure underlies precise control over cellular excitability—a property exploited both physiologically for communication/contraction and pharmacologically for therapeutic intervention.
