Anti-SCN1B

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels are essential for the generation and propagation of action potentials in striated muscle and neuronal tissues. The complete coding region of Sodium channel, voltage-gated, beta 1 (SCN1B) is found in approximately 9.0 kb of genomic DNA and consists of five exons (72 to 749 bp) and four introns (90 bp to 5.5 kb). It is mapped to 19q13.1 and can act as a candidate gene for hereditary disorders affecting membrane excitability. Sodium channel beta1 subunits play important roles in the regulation of sodium channel density and localization and are involved in axo-glial communication at nodes of Ranvier. Protein function: Regulatory subunit of multiple voltage-gated sodium channel complexes that play important roles in excitable membranes in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Enhances the presence of the pore-forming alpha subunit at the cell surface and modulates channel gating characteristics and the rate of channel inactivation. Modulates the activity of multiple pore-forming alpha subunits, such as SCN1A, SCN2A, SCN3A, SCN4A, SCN5A and SCN10A. [The UniProt Consortium]
