Sodium channels isolated from mammalian brain are composed of alpha-, beta(1)-, and beta(2)-subunits. The composition of sodium channels in cardiac muscle, however, has not been defined, and disagreement exists over which beta-subunits are expressed in the myocytes. Some investigators have demonstrated beta(1) expression in heart. Others have not detected any auxiliary subunits. On the basis of Northern blot analysis of total RNA, beta(2) expression has been thought to be exclusive to neurons and absent from cardiac muscle.

Abstract

Sodium channels isolated from mammalian brain are composed of alpha-, beta(1)-, and beta(2)-subunits. The composition of sodium channels in cardiac muscle, however, has not been defined, and disagreement exists over which beta-subunits are expressed in the myocytes. Some investigators have demonstrated beta(1) expression in heart. Others have not detected any auxiliary subunits. On the basis of Northern blot analysis of total RNA, beta(2) expression has been thought to be exclusive to neurons and absent from cardiac muscle.
