Intracellular modulation of sodium channels in severe epilepsy: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic implications
This project looks at how certain brain cell proteins, specifically sodium channels, interact with other molecules inside the cell. By understanding these interactions, we aim to find new ways to treat severe epilepsy. Voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) have a main pore-forming subunit that can form complexes with various proteins, including calcium-binding calmodulin (CaM) and fibroblast growth factor…
