Parallel homodimer structures of the extracellular domains of the voltage-gated sodium channel β4 subunit explain its role in cell–cell adhesion

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are transmembrane proteins required for the generation of action potentials in excitable cells and essential for propagating electrical impulses along nerve cells. VGSCs are complexes of a pore-forming α subunit and auxiliary β subunits, designated as β1/β1B–β4...
