Overlay histogram showing SHSY-5Y cells stained with ab62388 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab62388, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879>) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgM [ICIGM] (ab91545, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive result in 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) fixed SHSY-5Y cells used under the same conditions.
Please note that Abcam do not have any data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.

Supplementary information

The protein nNav1.5 also known as SCN5A functions as a voltage-gated sodium channel often referred to as Naᵥ1.5. It allows the rapid influx of sodium ions into cells aiding in the generation and propagation of action potentials especially within cardiac myocytes. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 260 kDa. This channel finds high expression in cardiac tissues contributing significantly to the electrical activity of the heart muscle. While nNav1.5 is mostly found in the heart its expression can be detected albeit less prominently in other tissues like the gastrointestinal tract.
Biological function summary

NNav1.5 plays an important role in maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. It is part of a complex that includes various auxiliary proteins such as the beta subunits which modulate its activity and trafficking. nNav1.5's main function involves the initiation and conduction of electrical signals in cardiac cells synchronizing heartbeats. Besides its central role in excitability nNav1.5 may engage in other cellular processes such as mechanoelectric feedback and response to oxidative stress.

Pathways

NNav1.5 is an essential player in cardiac conduction and excitation-contraction coupling pathways. Within these pathways it interacts closely with proteins like calcium channels and potassium channels which regulate action potentials' phases and heart muscle contraction. These pathways show the intricate balance of ion exchanges responsible for cardiac rhythm and function highlighting nNav1.5's influence in the orderly contraction of the heart.

Mutations or dysfunctions in nNav1.5 can lead to cardiac arrhythmias and dilated cardiomyopathy. In conditions like Long QT Syndrome nNav1.5 mutations can cause delayed repolarization of the cardiac cells leading to irregular heartbeats. Another related disorder is Brugada syndrome where nNav1.5 malfunction leads to erratic electrical activity and a risk of sudden cardiac death. The interaction of nNav1.5 with other proteins like connexins affects these diseases as connexins influence gap junction communication essential for synchronized cardiac activity.

Target data

Pore-forming subunit of Nav1.5, a voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channel that directly mediates the depolarizing phase of action potentials in excitable membranes. Navs, also called VGSCs (voltage-gated sodium channels) or VDSCs (voltage-dependent sodium channels), operate by switching between closed and open conformations depending on the voltage difference across the membrane. In the open conformation they allow Na(+) ions to selectively pass through the pore, along their electrochemical gradient. The influx of Na(+) ions provokes membrane depolarization, initiating the propagation of electrical signals throughout cells and tissues (PubMed : 1309946, PubMed : 21447824, PubMed : 23085483, PubMed : 23420830, PubMed : 25370050, PubMed : 26279430, PubMed : 26392562, PubMed : 26776555). Nav1.5 is the predominant sodium channel expressed in myocardial cells and it is responsible for the initial upstroke of the action potential in cardiac myocytes, thereby initiating the heartbeat (PubMed : 11234013, PubMed : 11804990, PubMed : 12569159, PubMed : 1309946). Required for normal electrical conduction including formation of the infranodal ventricular conduction system and normal action potential configuration, as a result of its interaction with XIRP2 (By similarity).
