Neuromuscular hyperexcitability is a characteristic of Isaacs' syndrome. Autoantibodies specific for voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKC) or ganglionic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) are markers of this disorder. To determine the frequency of these ion channel antibodies and of related
Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaChs) are highly concentrated in the postsynaptic region of the neuromuscular junction, especially in the depths of postsynaptic folds and in the perijunctional region. The formation of the high NaCh density occurs during synapse maturation, approximately 2 weeks afte
possible associations with other cytoplasmic or intramembranous proteins. If we are to understand fully all of the actions and interactions of ion channels, ideally, we must be able to selectively disrupt the functions of individual ion channel subunits and of any elements involved in regulating the
The study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of satellite potentials and their validity in clinical electromyography. Conventional needle electromyography was applied to the right biceps brachii and tibialis anterior muscles of 41 controls, 22 neuropathies, and 17 myopathies. Satelli
