Fast inactivation of Nav1.3 channels by FGF14 proteins: An unconventional way to regulate the slow firing of adrenal chromaffin cells.

Abstract

Using Nav1.3 and FGF14 KO mice, Martinez-Espinosa et al. provide new findings on how intracellular FGF14 proteins interfere with the endogenous fast inactivation gating and regulate the “long-term inactivation” of Nav1.3 channels that sets Nav channel availability and spike adaptation during sustained stimulation in adrenal chromaffin cells.
