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. [11] The proteins of these channels are named Na v 1.1 through Na v 1.9.
Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs), also known as voltage-dependent sodium channels (VDSCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the sodium ion Na +. They are the main channels involved in action potential of excitable cells.
A positively charged region between the III and IV domains of sodium channels is thought to act in a similar way. [9] The essential region for inactivation in sodium channels is four amino acid sequence made up of isoleucine, phenylalanine, methionine and threonine (IFMT). [13] The T and F interact directly with the docking site in the channel ...
Voltage-gated ion-channels are usually ion-specific, and channels specific to sodium (Na +), potassium (K +), calcium (Ca 2+), and chloride (Cl −) ions have been identified. [1] The opening and closing of the channels are triggered by changing ion concentration, and hence charge gradient, between the sides of the cell membrane. [2]
Deactivation is the return of an ion channel to its closed conformation. For voltage-gated channels this occurs when the voltage differential that originally caused the channel to open returns to its resting value. [31] In voltage-gated sodium channels, deactivation is necessary to recover from inactivation. [26]
Sodium channel, voltage-gated, type XI, alpha subunit also known as SCN11A or Na v 1.9 is a voltage-gated sodium ion channel protein which is encoded by the SCN11A gene on chromosome 3 in humans. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Like Na v 1.7 and Na v 1.8 , Na v 1.9 plays a role in pain perception.

The FitzHugh–Nagumo model (FHN) describes a prototype of an excitable system (e.g., a neuron). It is an example of a relaxation oscillator because, if the external stimulus I ext {\displaystyle I_{\text{ext}}} exceeds a certain threshold value, the system will exhibit a characteristic excursion in phase space , before the variables v ...
