ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel 1,957 amino acid tetrodotoxin-insensitive voltage-gated sodium channel specifically located in mammalian sensory neurons. Nucleic acid sequences coding for the novel sodium channel, vectors, host cells and methods of identifying modulators of the novel sodium channel for use in treatment of pain are also provided.
