The pharmacological uniqueness of the insect sodium channels i s indicated by their ability to bind the excitatory and depressant insect selective neurotoxins derived from scorpion venom. The latter were shown to bind and modify sodium conductance exclusively in insect neuronal membranes. The insect
The voltage-sensitive sodium channel is generally regarded as the primary target site of dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane (DDT) and pyrethroid insecticides, and has been implicated in the widely reported mechanism of nerve insensitivity to these compounds. This phenomenon is expressed as knockdown
Knockdown resistance (kdr) is a target-site resistance mechanism that confers nerve insensitivity to DDT and pyrethroid insecticides. In the houseรy, Musca domestica, molecular cloning of the para-type sodium channel gene has revealed two amino acid mutations that are associated with kdr and super-k
