"LQT3 arises from mutations that disrupt fast inactivation of the cardiac sodium channel SCN5A ( xref )."

"The EC 50 values of Lqh II, Lqh III, and LqhαIT to remove fast inactivation of hH1 channels are 12, <2.5, and 33 nM, respectively, compared with those in μI channels of 1.4, 7.2, and 0.5 nM, respectively."

sparser
"Thus, Lqh III is much more potent to remove fast inactivation of hH1 channels than Lqh II and LqhαIT."

sparser
"Although under control conditions hH1 channels inactivate rapidly and completely, Lqh II and Lqh III at that low concentration strongly slowed down fast inactivation of hH1 channels."

sparser
"We also studied the rates of fast inactivation of SkM1 and SCN5A. We took the falling phase (starting from around 2/3 of the maximal current to full inactivation, xref ) of Na + current measured in the activation experiment, and then fit the data with an exponential function to get a time constant (τ) of inactivation at each membrane potential ( xref )."

sparser
"In the chimaeras, activation resembled that of mu1, fast inactivation resembled that of hH1, and steady-state fast inactivation fell between that of hH1 and mu1."

sparser
"Thus, Lqh III not only removes fast inactivation of hH1 channels at lower concentrations, but also slows down inactivation more extensively than the other two toxins tested."

sparser
"Lqh Toxins Modify Activation and Fast Inactivation of hH1 Channels."

sparser
"In the control, fast inactivation of hH1 channels after 5 ms increases with increasing test voltage, and is complete at ∼0 mV."

sparser
"After obtaining stable toxin effects at a concentration of 100 nM, toxin dissociation rates in hH1 channels were obtained in a voltage range from +20 to +180 mV with protocols like that shown in xref A. As shown in xref (B and C) a 100-ms dissociation pulse to +120 mV almost completely removed the effects of 100 nM Lqh II and LqhαIT on fast inactivation of hH1 channels, whereas a 540-ms dissociation pulse to the same voltage only partially removed the effects of Lqh III on fast inactivation."
