New study from us: elifesciences.org/articles/98661 showing new functions for the fibroblast growth factor homologous factor (FHF) FGF13 in neurons. The roles for FHFs continue to expand! Not just a sodium channel regulator.
Interneuron FGF13 regulates seizure susceptibility via a sodium channel-independent mechanism
Variants in FGF13, associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, alter neuronal excitability by affecting inhibitory neurons and by a sodium channel-independent mechanism.
