Biophysical properties of TTX-S and TTX-R INa components of EGFP-positive DRG neuronsa
| TTX-S INa | TTX-R INa | |
|---|---|---|
| V1/2,act (mV) | −20.6 ± 0.3 | −6.7 ± 0.2* |
| ka (mV) | 4.0 ± 0.2 | 3.7 ± 0.2 |
| V1/2,inact (mV) | −60.7 ± 1.1 | −25.3 ± 0.6* |
| ki (mV) | −8.9 ± 0.9 | −6.9 ± 0.6 |
aSummary of sodium channel properties of EGFP-positive DRG neurons from Scn10a-EGFP mice. TTX-R INa were recorded in the presence of 3 μm TTX, and TTX-S INa were derived from subtracting the TTX-R component of INa from total INa, recorded before application of TTX. All voltage protocols and equations used to calculate V1/2 and k values are detailed in Materials and Methods. Complete activation curves were constructed from recordings of 28 EGFP-positive DRG neurons, and the inactivation protocol was successfully applied to 23 EGFP-positive DRG neurons. Data are mean ± SEM.
