Effect of pH on fast sodium channels in neurons of the rat dorsal root ganglion
Gen Physiol Biophys.

Abstract
Ionic currents through fast sodium channels in the neuronal somatic membrane were measured under voltage clamp conditions using external solutions of normal and low pH. Voltage-dependent inhibition of ionic currents through open channels was observed in acidic solutions. The voltage-dependent block of sodium channels may be explained by the presence of two acid groups at the channel. The parameters of the inner and outer acid groups calculated according to this model are similar to those reported for the nodal membrane.
