Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium channels are a feature of excitable mammalian cells such as neurons, but have never been found in bacteria. In his Perspective, Catterall discusses the discovery of the first bacterial voltage-gated sodium channel ( Ren et al.) and compares the structure and function of this channel with its mammalian counterpart.Keywords
