Characterization of activation of hNav1.7 mutants in the presence of 100 nM ProTx-II

Cells were held at −100 mV. Families of currents were induced by 50-ms depolarizing steps to various potential ranging from −80 to +40 mV. Recording currents from WT and mutant Nav1.7 started at ∼20 min after establishing whole-cell configuration. All data come from three to four cells. The half-activation potential (V1/2) and slope factor (k) were determined with Boltzmann fits. The values of IC50, slope factor (nH), and fbottom were determined with Hill equation in Figs. 2A, 6B, and 7B.
