Sodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha (UniProt: Q9Y5Y9; also known as Peripheral nerve sodium channel 3, PN3, hPN3, Sodium channel protein type X subunit alpha, Voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.8, Sodium Channel NaV1.8) is encoded by the SCN10A gene (Gene ID: 6336) in human. SCN10A is a tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channel that mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. The protein forms a sodium-selective channel through which sodium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Its electrophysiological properties vary depending on the type of the associated beta subunits. SCN10A plays a critical role in the modulation of action potentials and is involved in the neuropathic pain mechanisms. It is a multi-pass membrane protein and is predominantly expressed in peripheral sensory neurons, particularly in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and sciatic nerve. It can be translocated to the extracellular membrane through association with S100A10. Structurally, SCN10A features 4 homologous domains (internal repeats), each with 5 hydrophobic segments (S1,S2,S3,S5,S6) and one positively charged segment (S4). Segments S4 are probably the voltage-sensors and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position. Dysregulation or mutations in SCN10A have been linked to various pain disorders, including small fiber neuropathy and Brugada syndrome, a cardiac channelopathy characterized by an increased risk of arrhythmias. Recent studies have identified gain-of-function mutations in SCN10A that enhance pain sensitivity, while loss-of-function variants are associated with reduced pain perception, underscoring the gene′s pivotal role in pain modulation and cardiac health. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our proprietary technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 24 amino acids from the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of human SCN10A.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
