ICC/IF image of ab80539 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab80539, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899 Dylight 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Further characterization on this product is underway. Abcam welcomes customer feedback and would appreciate any comments regarding this product and the data presented above. SCN4B contains at least three potential glycosylation sites (SwissProt), which may explain its migration at a higher molecular weight than predicted. The primary sequence contains a 30-residue signal sequence at the N-terminus. The band around 20-kDa in human skeletal muscle may be the unglycosylated form of the target protein.

SCN4B also known as Sodium Channel Beta-4 Subunit is a vital component in the modulation of voltage-gated sodium channels. Its molecular mass is approximately 22 kDa. SCN4B is primarily expressed in muscle tissue and the central nervous system. It functions as an auxiliary subunit to modulate the activity and kinetics of the main alpha subunit in sodium channels therefore influencing neuronal excitability and muscle contraction.
Biological function summary

SCN4B regulates the proper functioning of sodium channels which are essential for the initiation and propagation of action potentials in neurons and muscle fibers. SCN4B does not typically form a complex on its own but works as part of the sodium channel macromolecular complex. The interaction with alpha subunits modulates the gating behavior and the cellular localization of the channel impacting how electrical signals are handled in excitable cells.

Pathways

The sodium channels influenced by SCN4B are integral to the action potential pathway and the muscle contraction pathway. SCN4B's interaction with alpha subunits like SCN4A influences signal transmission efficiency and precision. The proteins SCN5A and SCN1A are also part of these sodium channel pathways playing similar roles in different tissues such as cardiac and nervous systems.

SCN4B has connections to conditions such as periodic paralysis and epilepsy. Mutations or dysregulation of SCN4B can alter neuronal excitability contributing to pathophysiological conditions. The protein links to SCN4A in conditions involving muscle function and SCN1A in neuronal-related disorders demonstrating its role in maintaining normal electrical activity and stability across tissues.

Target data

Regulatory subunit of multiple voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels directly mediating the depolarization of 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. The accessory beta subunits participate in localization and functional modulation of the Nav channels (PubMed : 24297919). Modulates the activity of SCN1A/Nav1.1 (PubMed : 33712547). Modulates the activity of SCN2A/Nav1.2 (PubMed : 24297919).
