Characterization of activation of hNav1.7 mutants in the presence of 100 nM HWTX-IV

Cells were held at −100 mV. Families of currents were induced by 50-ms depolarizing steps to various potentials 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. IC50 values were determined with Hill equation in Fig. 2B, in which slope factor was set to 1. The fbottom values yielded were 0 on both wild-type and mutant Nav1.7 channels and therefore are not listed.
