Abstract
The present invention relates to a functionally expressed bacterial voltage-sensitive ion-selective channel. The novel channel can be used in conjunction with mammalian ion channel pore-containing regions in assays for screening for compounds that modulate activity of the channel. One bacterial ion channel of the present invention, called NaChBac, is derived from Bacillus halodurans (GenBank#BAB05220 (8)).
