reach
"Na channel subunits alphaSNS (PN3) and alpha mu1 (SkM1) produce slowly inactivating and TTX resistant and rapidly inactivating and TTX sensitive currents, respectively."

reach
"We show that in male rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons these mutations, which impair inactivation, significantly increase TTX-resistant resurgent sodium currents mediated by Nav1.8."

reach
"In a rat model of neuropathic pain, expression of Nav1.8 in axons is sufficiently up-regulated to allow TTX-resistant propagation of action potentials in some C-fibers , but it remains unclear under what conditions Nav1.8 inhibition can inhibit generation or propagation of action potentials in human pain conditions."

reach
"The novel sodium channel PN3/alpha-SNS, which was cloned from a rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cDNA library, is expressed predominantly in small sensory neurons and may contribute to the tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTXR) sodium current that is believed to be associated with central sensitization in chronic neuropathic pain states."

reach
"TTX resistance is predominantly mediated by SCN10A (also known as Na 1.8)."

reach
"It has been shown that activation of p38 MAPK increases TTX-resistant sodium channel currents by phosphorylation of L1 loop serines of Nav1.8 channels [47]."
