Comment The voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channel often shows alterations leading to cardiac channelopathies. For instance, about 20 % of Brugada syndrome (BrS) cases are caused by mutations in SCN5A, a gene mapping to the chromosomal region 3p21 and encoding NaV1.5, the pore-forming, alpha subunit, of the main cardiac NaV channel.

Comment In the heart, the NaV channel is responsible for generating the rising phase of the action potential (AP), thus playing a central role in myocardial excitability. The abnormal ECG observed in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is due to loss-of-function of the NaV channel.

Comment NaV1.5 is located at intercalated discs (ID), that is, the region between cardiomyocytes containing cell adhesion complexes, and also in the lateral membrane, where costameres and transverse tubules (T tubules) are found; costameres are protein complexes connecting the cardiomyocyte sarcomeres with the extracellular matrix, while T tubules are deep invaginations of the sarcolemma in the Z-disk region (or Z-line, which borders the sarcomeres), allowing electrical coupling with Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The distribution of NaV1.5 in ID and T tubules depends in part on ankyrin-G (AnkG).

Comment Plakophilin 2 (PKP2) and SAP97 (synapse-associated protein 97; a member of the family of membrane-associated guanylate kinases) would control NaV1.5 localization at the intercalated discs (ID). It has been proposed that PKP2 is part of a complex with connexin 43 (Cx43) and AnkG, possibly independent of the interaction with SAP97.

Comment Within the context of cardiac function, an important result in this regard is the recent finding showing that beta1, by mediating cell-cell adhesion, contributes to spreading of the AP along ventricular cardiomyocytes. Beta1 facilitates coupling of adjacent cells for ion exchange, being located within clefts of the perinexus, i.e., the narrow stretch of membranes closely apposed and adjacent to the gap junctions.
