Nav1.7 is a tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltagegatedsodium channel type IX subunit alpha (SCN9A). MW: 242 kDa (calc.)
Host Species: human
Supplied as Each vial contains ~2 X 10^6 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.
Background
Nav1.7 is a voltage-gated sodium ion channel that in humans is encoded by the SCN9A gene. It is usually expressed at high levels in two types of neurons, the nociceptive neurons at dorsalroot ganglion and trigeminal ganglion, and sympathetic ganglion neurons, which are part of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. Nav1.7 is present at the endings of pain-sensing nerves, the nociceptors, close to the region where the impulse is initiated.The Nav1.7 channel produces a rapidly activating and inactivating current which is sensitive to the level of tetrodotoxin. Knockout mice that lack Nav1.7 in nociceptors showed reduced response to inflammatory pain.
Application
Screen for activators or inhibitors of Nav1.7 Functional assays for Nav1.7 Efficient antigen for mouse immunization
Biological Activity
Functionally validated by Western blotting of NaV1.7 using anti-Sodium channel Nav1.7, clone N68/6 (Millipore, #MABN41) and Alkaline Phosphatase conjugated anti-mouse IgG. Also validated for NaV1.7 expression on the cell surface, measured by flow cytometry (FACS) using anti-NaV 1.7 clone 68/6 and PE-labeled anti-mouse IgG.
