Product Name :
Na+ CP type IVα Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Voltage-gated sodium channels are selective ion channels that regulate the permeability of sodium ions in excitable cells. During the propagation of an action potential, sodium channels allow an influx of sodium ions, which rapidly depolarize the cell. The three glycoproteins that comprise the voltagegated sodium channel proteins include a pore-forming α subunit, a noncovalently associated β1 subunit and a disulfide-linked β2 subunit. The two β subunits regulate the level of channel expression, modulate gating and function as cell adhesion molecules for cellular aggregation and cytoskeleton interaction. The α subunits of sodium channels type I and III are predominantly expressed in neuronal cell bodies and proximal processes, while type IIα subunits are more abundant along axons. The β1 subunit of sodium channel type I is expressed in brain, skeletal and cardiac muscle. In the brain, β1 and β2 are highly expressed in Purkinje cells, and β1 is also expressed in the pyramidal cells of the deep cerebellar nuclei. Impaired voltage-gated sodium channels lead to a number of diseases including myotonia. Alternative Name :
Sodium channel protein type 4 subunit alpha; SkM1; Sodium channel protein skeletal muscle subunit alpha; Sodium channel protein type IV subunit alpha; Voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.4; SCN4A Swiss-Prot :
P35499 Product :
