Sodium Channel-pan Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

Sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha; Sodium channel protein brain I subunit alpha; Sodium channel protein type I subunit alpha; Voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.1; SCN1A; NAC1, SCN1

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. Plays a key role in brain, probably by regulating the moment when neurotransmitters are released in neurons. Involved in sensory perception of mechanical pain: activation in somatosensory neurons induces pain without neurogenic inflammation and produces hypersensitivity to mechanical, but not thermal stimuli.
