Abstract
The present invention is directed to isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a voltage-sensitive sodium channel (VSSC) of , the VSSC being capable of conferring insecticide susceptibility or insecticide resistance to , as well as to the isolated voltage-sensitive sodium channels of encoded thereby. Nucleic acid molecules encoding insecticide susceptible VSSCs and nucleic acid molecules encoding insecticide resistant VSSCs are provided. Methods for increasing or decreasing the expression of functional voltage-sensitive sodium channels in host cells are also provided, as well as methods using the sodium channels. Also provided is a method for isolating other voltage-sensitive sodium channels.
