Sodium voltage-gated channel αsubunit 8 (SCN8A) is expressed in the central nervous system. The protein is specifically expressed in the axonal initial segment (AIS) and the nodes of Ranvier of myelinated axons. The gene encoding SCN8A is localized on human chromosome 12q13.13.
Immunogen
SCN8A (NP_055006, 1854 a.a. ~ 1951 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Sodium voltage-gated channel αsubunit 8 (SCN8A) has a role in the generation and conduction of action potential. Mutations in the SCN8A gene have been associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy type 13.

Microglia-related inflammation is associated with the pathology of Parkinson's disease. Functional voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are involved in regulating microglial function. Here, we aim to investigate the effects of scorpion venom heat-resistant synthesized peptide (SVHRSP) on 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced Parkinson's disease-like
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common age-related progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by dopamine depletion and the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons with accompanying neuroinflammation. Zonisamide is an-anti-convulsant drug that has recently been shown to improve clinical symptoms of
