Rabbit anti-Human SCN9A Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q15858

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SCN9A

Target Full Name

Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha

Target 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. It is a tetrodotoxin-sensitive Na(+) channel isoform. Plays a role in pain mechanisms, especially in the development of inflammatory pain.

Target Involvement

Primary erythermalgia (PERYTHM); Indifference to pain, congenital, autosomal recessive (CIP); Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD); Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus 7 (GEFS+7); Febrile seizures, familial, 3B (FEB3B)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, neuron projection.

Target Protein Families

Sodium channel (TC 1.A.1.10) family, Nav1.7/SCN9A subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed strongly in dorsal root ganglion, with only minor levels elsewhere in the body, smooth muscle cells, MTC cell line and C-cell carcinoma. Also expressed in vagus nerves within the head and neck region. Isoform 1 is expressed preferentially in the
