Overview
Anti-NaV1.7 (SCN9A)-ATTO Fluor-633 Antibody is an antibody targeting Voltage-gated sodium channel type IX subunit alpha, PN1, NENA, NE, ETHA Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (ATTO-633. Maximum absorption 629 nm; maximum fluorescence 657 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 610 - 645 nm range. This label is analogous to the dyes Alexa 647, Alexa 633 and Cy5 and can be used for direct flow cytometry (FACS) using the He:Ne laser.). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IHC to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Voltage-gated sodium channel type IX subunit alpha, PN1, NENA, NE, ETHA (also reported as Voltage-gated sodium channel type IX subunit alpha, PN1, NENA, NE, ETHA).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Intracellular loop between domains I and II.
- Homology note: Rabbit - 14/15 amino acid residues identical; human, mouse - 13/15 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis (unlabeled antibody, #ASC-008), and immunohistochemistry (labeled antibody)..
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
- Conjugate/format: ATTO-633. Maximum absorption 629 nm; maximum fluorescence 657 nm. The fluorescence is excited most efficiently in the 610 - 645 nm range. This label is analogous to the dyes Alexa 647, Alexa 633 and Cy5 and can be used for direct flow cytometry (FACS) using the He:Ne laser. (may affect detection channel and background).
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV) are essential for the generation of action potentials and for cell excitability1. NaV channels are activated in response to depolarization and selectively allow the flow of Na+ ions. To date, nine NaV α subunits have been cloned and named NaV1.1-NaV1.94-5.
Research relevance and current trends
- Mapping receptor/channel localization across neuronal subtypes and subcellular compartments.
- Linking trafficking or surface expression changes to activity-dependent signaling and plasticity.
- Using KO/KD or blocking-peptide concepts to strengthen antibody-based target assignment.
Common research applications
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: RIC-001-FR.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
