Nax is an atypical sodium channel that is assumed to be a descendant of the voltage-gated
sodium channel family. Our recent studies on the Nax-gene-targeting mouse revealed that
Nax channel is localized to the circumventricular organs (CVOs), the central loci for the salt
and water homeostasis in mammals, where the Nax channel serves as a sodium-level
sensor of the body fluid. To understand the cellular mechanism by which the information
sensed by Nax channels is transferred to the activity of the organs, we dissected the …
