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

/in , , , /by

Stefanie Wege (University of Adelaide), Alexis De Angeli (Université de Montpellier) Electrical signals or action potentials are present in animals, plants, and other organisms such as single-celled diatoms (Moran et al., 2015; Hedrich et al., 2016; Helliwell et al., 2019). Electrical signals are short-lived, locally restricted changes in membrane potential (measured as voltage changes) that travel along cell […]
