SCN5A Polyclonal Antibody
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and tetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-gated sodium channel subunit. This protein is found primarily in cardiac muscle and is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in an electrocardiogram. Defects in this gene are a cause of long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3), an autosomal dominant cardiac disease. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Uniprot Description
SCN5A: an integral membrane protein and a voltage-gated sodium channel subunit. Mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. This protein is found primarily in cardiac muscle and is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in an electrocardiogram. 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-resistant Na(+) channel isoform. Intracellular calcium levels regulate channel inactivation. Interacts with the PDZ domain of the syntrophin SNTA1, SNTB1 and SNTB2. Interacts with NEDD4, NEDD4L, WWP2 and GPD1L. Defects in this protein are a cause of long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3). Belongs to the sodium channel (TC 1.A.1.10) family, Nav1.5/SCN5A subfamily. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
