Structural basis of inhibition of human NaV1.8 by the tarantula venom peptide Protoxin-I

Abstract Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaVs) selectively permit diffusion of sodium ions across the cell membrane and, in excitable cells, are responsible for propagating action potentials. One of the nine human NaV isoforms, NaV1.8, is a promising target for analgesics, and selective inhibitors ar...
