Abstract	Sodium channel β-subunits modulate channel gating, assembly, and cell surface expression in heterologous cell systems. We generated β2−/− mice to investigate the role of β2 in control of sodium channel density, localization, and function in neurons in vivo. Measurements of [3H]saxitoxin (STX) binding showed a significant reduction in the level of plasma membrane sodium channels in β2−/− neurons. The loss of β2 resulted in negative shifts in the voltage dependence of inactivation as well as significant decreases in sodium current density in acutely dissociated hippocampal neurons. The integral of the compound action potential in optic nerve was significantly reduced, and the threshold for action potential generation was increased, indicating a reduction in the level of functional plasma membrane sodium channels. In contrast, the conduction velocity, the number and size of axons in the optic nerve, and the specific localization of Nav1.6 channels in the nodes of Ranvier were unchanged. β2−/− mice displayed increased susceptibility to seizures, as indicated by reduced latency and threshold for pilocarpine-induced seizures, but seemed normal in other neurological tests. Our observations show that β2-subunits play an important role in the regulation of sodium channel density and function in neurons in vivo and are required for normal action potential generation and control of excitability.
