In hypokalemic periodic paralysis, arginine residues making up the voltage sensor of Na v 1.4 are mutated. The voltage sensor comprises the S4 alpha helix of each of the four transmembrane domains (I-IV) of the protein, and contains basic residues that only allow entry of the positive sodium ions at appropriate membrane voltages by blocking or opening the channel pore.
The family of sodium channels has 9 known members, with amino acid identity >50% in the trans-membrane segments and extracellular loop regions. A standardized nomenclature for sodium channels is currently used and is maintained by the IUPHAR. [8] The proteins of these channels are named Na v 1.1 through Na v 1.9.
Na v 1.8 and Na v 1.9 are both expressed in nociceptors (damage-sensing neurons). Na v 1.7, Na v 1.8 and Na v 1.9 are found in the DRG and help mediate chronic inflammatory pain. [13] Na v 1.8 is an α-type channel subunit consisting of four homologous domains, each with six transmembrane regions, of which one is a voltage sensor.
The voltage-dependence of steady-state fast inactivation is unchanged in Na v 1.1–Na v 1.4, but steady-state fast inactivation in Na v 1.5 is depolarized. Hence, among the sodium channels that have been studied so far, Na v 1.4 is the least and Na v 1.5 is the most proton-sensitive subtypes. [59]
A French startup TIAMAT develops Na + ion batteries based on a sodium-vanadium-phosphate-fluoride cathode material Na 3 V 2 (PO 4) 2 F 3, which undergoes two reversible 0.5 e-/V transitions: at 3.2V and at 4.0 V. [48] A startup from Singapore, SgNaPlus is developing and commercialising Na 3 V 2 (PO 4) 2 F 3 cathode material, which shows very ...

The fixed rate for a 15-year mortgage is 6.0%, up 8 basis points from last week's average 5.92%. These figures are lower than a year ago, when rates averaged 6.61% for a 30-year term and 5.93% for ...
NaPb 3, NaPb, Na 9 Pb 4, Na 5 Pb 2, and Na 15 Pb 4 are some of the known sodium-lead alloys. Sodium also forms alloys with gold (NaAu 2) and silver (NaAg 2). Group 12 metals (zinc, cadmium and mercury) are known to make alloys with sodium. NaZn 13 and NaCd 2 are alloys of zinc and cadmium. Sodium and mercury form NaHg, NaHg 4, NaHg 2, Na 3 Hg 2 ...
