General description

Voltage-gated sodium channels/VGSCs (Nav) are transmembrane proteins that are initiated by the depolarization of the membrane. They are heteromultimers with large pore-forming α-subunits and smaller β-subunits.

Specificity

The sequence recognized by this clone is identical in all known vertebrate Na+ channels. In cultured hippocampal neurons, the antibody specifically stains the axon initial segment. In sciatic and optic nerves, it stains the nodes of Ranvier.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide CTEEQKKYYNAMKKLGSKK from the intracellular III-IV loop of Na+ channels

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Sodium Channel, Pan antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
  • immunohistochemistry(1:50)
  • immunostaining (1:200)
  • immunofluorescence
  • immunocytochemistry (1:100)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Voltage-gated sodium channels/VGSCs (Nav) participates in nociceptive transmission. They play a key role in regulating the exchange between the extracellular and intracellular spaces. VGSCs are crucial for the initiation and firing of action potentials. They participate in neuronal excitability. Hence mutations in the VGSC genes results in several epileptic disorders.

Physical form

Solution in 10 mM Tris, pH 7.5, containing 0.1 m NaCl, 30% glycerol, and 15 mM sodium azide.

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a chemical synapse formed between motoneurons and skeletal muscle fibers. The vertebrate NMJ uses acetylcholine (ACh) as the neurotransmitter and features numerous invaginations of the postsynaptic muscle membrane termed junctional folds. ACh receptors (AChRs) are

Neurons in vertebrate central nervous systems initiate and conduct sodium action potentials in distinct subcellular compartments that differ architecturally and electrically. Here, we report several unanticipated passive and active properties of the cerebellar granule cell's unmyelinated axon. Whereas spike initiation
