Values are means ± SE for n experiments. Time course of recovery from inactivation was analyzed by fitting data with a 2-exponential (exp) function: normalized INa (t) = Af[1 − exp(−t/τf)] + As[1 − exp(−t/τS)], where t is time, Af and As are fractional amplitudes of fast and slow components, respectively, and τf and τs are fast and slow time constants, respectively.
P < 0.05 vs. WT (1-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey test).
