SCN7A (sodium channel, voltage-gated, type VII, alpha subunit) is a large subunit (260kDa) of heteromultimeric voltage-gated sodium channel belonging to the voltage-dependent sodium channel family. In humans, it is expressed in the brain, fetal skeletal muscle, heart, and uterus. It is associated with membrane depolarization of electrically excitable cells, including other diverse physiological processes.
Synonyms: Anti-Putative voltage-gated sodium channel alpha subunit Nax antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Sodium channel protein type 7 subunit alpha antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Sodium channel protein type VII subunit alpha antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Sodium channel protein, cardiac and skeletal muscle alpha-subunit antibody produced in rabbit

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.
