The voltage-gated sodium channel NaV 1.7 plays a critical role in pain pathways. We generated an epitope-tagged NaV 1.7 mouse that showed normal pain behaviours to identify channel-interacting proteins. Analysis of NaV 1.7 complexes affinity-purified under native conditions by mass spectrometry revealed 267 proteins associated with Nav1.7 in vivo The sodium channel β3 (Scn3b), rather than the β1 subunit, complexes with Nav1.7, and we demonstrate an interaction between collapsing-response mediator protein (Crmp2) and Nav1...
