title: [Subtypes and functions of voltage-gated Na+ channel].
abstract: Since 1990s, the research on voltage-gated sodium channels have got rapid progress by the use of molecular biological and electrophysiological recording techniques. This communication presents a brief review on mammalian sodium channel involving classification, distribution, and mechanisms of expression regulation of various subtypes in the central and peripheral nervous system and other nonexcitable tissues.
