Pitohui and poison frog NaV1.4 channels are BTX sensitive.(a, c, e, and g) Exemplar current recordings for Pum NaV1.4 (a), Hs NaV1.4 (c), Pt NaV1.4 (e), and Dt NaV1.4 (g) expressed in HEK293 cells in the absence (left) or presence (right) of 10 µM BTX. Trace at 0 mV is highlighted in each panel. Currents were evoked with the shown multistep depolarization protocol (inset in a). (b, d, f, and h) G-V relationships in the presence or absence of 10 µM BTX for Pum NaV1.4 (black diamonds), +BTX (orange diamonds; b), Hs NaV1.4 (black circles), +BTX (purple circles; d), Pt NaV1.4 (white circles), +BTX (dark orange circles; f), and Dt NaV1.4 (white squares), +BTX (blue squares; h). (i) Exemplar current recordings from mock-transfected HEK293 cells using the protocol from a.
