- clustering of voltage gated sodium channels
- clustering of voltage-dependent sodium channels
- Nav channel clustering
- voltage-gated sodium channel clustering
|
Definition: |
The process in which voltage-gated sodium channels become localized together in high densities. In animals, nodes of Ranvier differ dramatically from internodal axonal regions in very high densities of voltage-dependent sodium (Nav) channels responsible for the rapid, inward ionic currents that produce membrane depolarization.
