NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the sodium channel alpha subunit gene family. The encoded protein forms the ion pore region of the voltage-gated sodium channel. This protein is essential for the rapid membrane depolarization that occurs during the formation of the action potential in excitable neurons. Mutations in this gene are associated with cognitive disability, pancerebellar atrophy and ataxia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Uniprot Description
SCN8A: 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. In macrophages and melanoma cells, isoform 5 may participate in the control of podosome and invadopodia formation. Defects in SCN8A are the cause of cognitive impairment with or without cerebellar ataxia (CIAT). A disorder characterized by markedly delayed cognitive and motor development, attention deficit disorder, and cerebellar ataxia. Features include bilateral esophoria, strabismatic amblyopia, unsustained gaze evoked nystagmus on horizontal gaze, ataxic gait, dysmetria in the upper limbs and dysarthria, with normal strength, tone, and reflexes. Defects in SCN8A are the cause of epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, type 13 (EIEE13). A form of epilepsy characterized by frequent tonic seizures or spasms beginning in infancy with a specific EEG finding of suppression-burst patterns, characterized by high-voltage bursts alternating with almost flat suppression phases. Patients may progress to West syndrome, which is characterized by tonic spasms with clustering, arrest of psychomotor development, and hypsarrhythmia on EEG. EIEE13 is a severe form consisting of early-onset seizures, features of autism, intellectual disability, ataxia, and sudden unexplained death in epilepsy. Belongs to the sodium channel (TC 1.A.1.10) family. Nav1.6/SCN8A subfamily. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The SCN8A scn8a (Catalog #AAA9431127) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The SCN8A Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's SCN8A can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 1:200-1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SCN8A scn8a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SCN8A, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
