Nav1.8 and Chronic Pain: From Laboratory Animals to Clinical Patients by Yu-Feng Xie

“…As a subtype of voltage-gated sodium channel and predominantly expressed in the sensory neurons located in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), the Nav1.8 channel encoded by the <i>SCN10A</i> gene is found to have different variants in patients suffering chronic pain or insensitivity to pain due to the gain-of-function or loss-of-function of Nav1.8 channels. In animal models of chronic pain, Nav1.8 is also verified to be involved, suggesting that Nav1.8 may be a potential target for treatment of chronic pain. …”
