Rabbit Anti-SCN8A (Sodium Channel Protein Type 8 Subunit alpha, Sodium Channel Protein Type VIII Subunit alpha, Voltage-gated Sodium Channel Subunit alpha Nav1.6, SCN8A, MED)
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.
