Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Sodium voltage-gated channel α subunit 10 (SCN10A) codes for Nav1.8 sodium channels. It is expressed in nociceptive neurons. This gene is mapped to human chromosome 3p22.2._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ peptide (C)EDEVAAKEGNSPGPQ corresponding to residues 1943-1957 of rat Nav1.8. This sequence has 14/15 residues identical in mouse and 7/15 residues identical in human._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Sodium Channel NaV1.8 antibody has been used in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry._x000D_ Target description_x000D_ Anti-Sodium Channel NaV1.8 specifically recognizes NaV1.8. Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are present in most excitable cells. They play a crucial role in regulating the cell excitability, being primarily responsible for the_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, with 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.05 % sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Sodium voltage-gated channel α subunit 10 (SCN10A) plays a major role in human pain.
