No. ZRB1922, Anti-pan-Na+ Channel, clone 4B8 ZooMAb® Rabbit Monoclonal (1:1,000 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. Arrow indicates multiple Na+ Channels (~260 kDa).
Affinity Binding Assay Enhanced Validation - Recombinant Antibody Technology 100 mg/mL of non-specific control peptide (Run 1) or Sodium Channel-Pan peptide (Run 2) were analyzed by affinity binding assay using Cat. No. ZRB1922, Anti-pan-Na+ Channel, clone 4B8 ZooMAb® Rabbit Monoclonal. The binding of this antibody to Sodium Channel-Pan peptide displayed a KD of 1.0 x 10-12 whereas binding to non-specific control peptide displayed a KD of 3.4 x 10-4.

| Immunogen: | KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the 10th cytoplasmic domain in the C-terminal region of human Sodium channel protein subunit alpha. |
| Legal Information: | ZooMAb is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany |
| Physical form: | 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. |
| Reconstitution: | 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. |
| Specificity: | Clone 4B8 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that detects various sodium channels. It targets an epitope within 18 amino acids from the 10th cytoplasmic domain in the C-terminal half. It reacts with all known Sodium channel (SCN) alpha subunits. |
| Storage and Stability: | 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. |
| Target description: | Sodium channel protein type 9 subunit alpha (UniProt: Q15858; also known as Neuroendocrine sodium channel, hNE-Na, Peripheral sodium channel 1, PN1, Sodium channel protein type IX subunit alpha, Voltage-gated sodium channel subunit alpha Nav1.7, SCN9A) is encoded by the SCN9A (also known as NENA) gene (Gene ID: 6335) in human. Sodium channels are multi-pass membrane glycoproteins that mediates the voltage-dependent sodium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane sodium-selective channel allow sodium ions to pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Nine different sodium ion channels have been described and they have been classified based on their sensitivity to tetrodotoxin. Mammalian sodium channels are heterotrimers that are composed of a large central pore-forming glycosylated alpha subunit and 2 smaller auxiliary beta subunits. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals. |
