| 摘要 |
DNA encoding for a voltage-gated, TTX-sensitive sodium channel is isolated. Also disclosed are polypeptide products of recombinant expression of these DNA sequences, expression vectors comprising the DNA sequences, and host cells transformed with these expression vectors. Other aspects of this invention are peptides whose sequences are based on the amino acid sequences deduced from these DNA sequences, antibodies specific for such proteins and peptides, procedures for detection and quantitation of such proteins, and nucleic acids related thereto. Another aspect of this invention is the use of this voltage-gated, tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium channel as a therapeutic target for compounds. |
