Abbreviations: CD, current density; V1/2, voltage of half-maximal activation or inactivation; V1/2 ∆, values represent shift of voltage for half-maximal activation or inactivation relative to the value measured from the wild type channel; k, slope factor of the activation or inactivation curve; k ∆, values indicate multiple of slope factor of the activation or inactivation curve measured from wild type channel. Original values are listed in the column representing the wild type channel. #, represents significant difference between parameter of noninactivating part of the current characterizing steady-state fast inactivation and the same parameter characterizing inactivation evoked by prolonged 1 s conditioning prepulse of the same channel construct; τ represents time constant of monoexponential fit of data from recovery from steady-state fast inactivation; ¶ values in square brackets represent a relative amplitude of inactivated part of the current; ↑, predicted gain of channel activity; ↓, predicted loss of channel activity

Values statistically significantly different from WT-SCN1A are printed in bold and indicated as follows: *p < 0.05; ** p < 0.005; *** p < 0.0001.
