Primary structure of squid sodium channel deduced from the complementary DNA sequence

C Sato et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

The complete amino acid sequence of a sodium channel from squid Loligo bleekeri has been deduced by cloning and sequence analysis of the complementary DNA. The deduced sequence revealed an organization virtually identical to the vertebrate sodium channel proteins; four homologous domains containing all six membrane-spanning structures are repeated in tandem with connecting linkers of various sizes. A unique feature of the squid Na channel is the 1,522 residue sequence, approximately three fourths of those of the rat sodium channels I, II and III.
