SCN8A Antibody (PA5-37276) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescence analysis of SCN8A was performed using 70% confluent log phase IMR-32 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 2% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with SCN8A Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA5-37276) at 1:100 dilution in 0.1% BSA, incubated at 4 degree celsius overnight and then with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (Heavy Chain), Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate (Product #...

Target Information
The sodium channel protein type 8 subunit alpha (Na+ CP type VIII alpha ) is a multi-pass, transmembrane protein that mediates the sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. The three glycoproteins that comprise the voltage-gated sodium channel proteins include a pore-forming alpha subunit, a noncovalently associated beta1 subunit and a disulfide-linked beta2 subunit. The two beta subunits regulate the level of channel expression, modulate gating and function as cell adhesion molecules for cellular aggregation and cytoskeleton interaction. The alpha subunits of sodium channels type I and III are predominantly expressed in neuronal cell bodies and proximal processes, while type II alpha subunits are more abundant along axons. Sodium channels are important for rapid signal transduction but also play a significant role in neuronal development. Defects of the SCN8A gene have exhibited detrimental effects on the growth of secondary motoneurons. Loss of SCN8A expression will result in progressive paralysis and early death.
