Novel Electrical Signaling: First Fast Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Identified Outside of the Animal Kingdom.

Abstract

Electrical signals or action potentials are present in animals, plants, and other organisms such as single-celled diatoms ([Moran et al., 2015][1]; [Hedrich et al., 2016][2]; [Helliwell et al., 2019][3]). Electrical signals are short-lived, locally restricted changes in membrane potential (measured
