Molecular description of scorpion toxin interaction with voltage–gated sodium channels

Book section · January 1, 2015 Scorpion alpha and beta toxins interact with voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) at two pharmacologically distinct sites. Alpha toxins bind at receptor site 3 and inhibit channel inactivation, whereas beta toxins bind at receptor site 4 and shi ... Full text Cite

Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels as Insecticide Targets.

Book section · January 2014 Voltage-gated sodium channels are critical for the generation and propagation of action potentials. They are the primary target of several classes of insecticides, including DDT, pyrethroids and sodium channel blocker insecticides (SCBIs). DDT and pyrethro ... Full text Cite
