“…For instance, voltage-gated Na + channel Nav1.5 has been proposed to promote Rac1 activity by producing membrane potential depolarization in breast cancer cells ( Yang et al, 2020 ). Nav1.5-induced membrane potential depolarization causes Rac1 activation by promoting local redistribution of phosphatidylserine, an anionic phospholipid to which Rac1 binds, and known to be important for its activation ( Finkielstein et al, 2006 ; Yang et al, 2020 ). Interestingly, TRPM4 facilitates cellular depolarization in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) ( Vennekens et al, 2007 ), HeLa ( Simon et al, 2010 ), and HEK293 cells ( Fliegert et al, 2007 ).…”
