This review summarizes the functional role of protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation in modulating voltage-dependent sodium channels.
Highlights kinase modulation of NaV channels; leaves open clinical translation to arrhythmia management.
Although voltage-dependent sodium channels from the brain have been realized as targets for regulatory protein phosphorylation since the first isolation of sodium channels as proteins, the functional role of phosphoprotein formation has been obscured until recently. The review summarizes progress on the modulation of voltage-dependent sodium channels by serine/threonine protein kinases, i.e. PKA and PKC. Divergent modulation is discussed in context with divergent primary structure of the alpha-subunit.
