Beta1 N-linked sialic acids can modulate voltage-gated sodium channel gating through an apparent saturating electrostatic mechanism, impacting cardiac, skeletal muscle, and neuronal excitability.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not yet inform clinical management of channelopathies; leaves open in vivo relevance for human excitability disorders.
Johnson et al. (2004) studied this question.
