Project description

In this proposal, I intend to further explore preliminary data suggesting that three new cell adhesion molecules can modulate voltage-gated sodium channel function as part of the interactome. Upon completion, this project will provide new insights into the channel interactome and establish a baseline for future studies investigating channel localization and clustering in excitable cell membranes.
