Sodium channel protein type 1 subunitalpha (SCN1A, Nav1.1) (C-Term) antibody

Antigen: Sodium channel protein type 1 subunitalpha (SCN1A, Nav1.1)

Binding Site: C-Term

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350849

Additional Information

UniProt: P35498

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the c-terminal of Sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha (SCN1A, Nav1.1) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen is homologus in rat and human.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which Na+ ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Also known as: Sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha, Sodium channel protein type I subunit alpha, Voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.1, Sodium channel protein, brain I subunit alpha, SCN1A, NAC1, SCN1.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for SCN1A.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
