Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) are membrane proteins that are usually present in excitable cells. These sodium channels regulate neurological functions such as the generation of action potentials in nerve cells. Alterations in neurological sodium ion channels have been associated with epilepsy, whereas mutations in cardiac sodium channels have been linked to long QT syndrome . Anti-Sodium Channel, Pan antibody is specific for the α subunit of VGSC in rats.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1491-1508 of the α subunit of rat type I voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC, SP19) (with additional C-terminal cysteine). The epitope corresponds to the sequence in the intracellular loop between the III and IV domains of the VGSC α subunit.This epitope is identical in vertebrates, and highly homologous in mollusks and insects.
Application
Anti-Sodium Channel, Pan antibody is suitable for use in immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections), immunoprecipitation and chemiluminescent western blot.
Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.05% sodium azide.

Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are integral membrane proteins. They are essential for normal neurologic function and are, currently, the most common recognized cause of genetic epilepsy. This review summarizes the neurobiology of VGSCs, their association with different epilepsy syndromes, and
The inherited long QT syndrome is caused by mutations of at least 5 ion channel genes. Mutations of the cardiac sodium ion channel gene and 3 potassium channel genes have been identified to this time. A genetic locus on chromosome
Neuropathic pain following peripheral nerve injury is associated with hyperexcitability in damaged myelinated sensory axons, which begins to normalise over time. We investigated the composition and distribution of shaker-type-potassium channels (Kv1 channels) within the nodal complex of myelinated axons following
Experiments in recent years have revealed labile electrophysiological and neurochemical phenotypes in primary afferent neurons exposed to specific stimulus conditions associated with the development of chronic pain. These studies collectively demonstrate that the mechanisms responsible for functional plasticity are primarily

Voltage-gated Na(+) channels in the brain are composed of a single pore-forming α subunit, one non-covalently linked β subunit (β1 or β3), and one disulfide-linked β subunit (β2 or β4). The final step in Na(+) channel biosynthesis in central neurons
