The Nav1.7 ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of Nav1.7 in various samples. Nav1.7 is another term for the SCN9A gene, which encodes the protein, sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9 in humans. It has been reported that Nav1.7 plays a role in inflammatory response pathways and post-embryonic development, among other functions. Structurally, the SCN9A protein is 1988 amino acid residues in length and 226.4 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 4 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is noted to be expressed strongly in dorsal root ganglion, with only minor levels elsewhere in the body, smooth muscle cells, MTC cell line and C-cell carcinoma. This protein is known to be glycosylated, ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include ETHA, ETHA, and FEB3B.
