Abstract
► Effects of IGF-1 on expression and function of NaV1.7 Na+ channels are investigated. ► IGF-1 up-regulates NaV1.7 Na+ channels via acceleration of α-subunit gene transcription. ► PI3K∼Akt∼GSK-3β pathway is involvement in the increasing effect of IGF-1. ► IGF-1 enhances Na+ influx, and subsequent Ca2+ influx and catecholamine secretion.
