Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with citrate buffer pH 6 before commencing with IHC staining protocol. 1 Target Function Crucial in the assembly, expression, and functional modulation of the heterotrimeric complex of the sodium channel. The subunit beta-1 can modulate multiple alpha subunit isoforms from brain, skeletal muscle, and heart. Its association with neurofascin may target the sodium channels to the nodes of Ranvier of developing axons and retain these channels at the nodes in mature myelinated axons. Tissue specificity Abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart and brain. Involvement in disease Defects in SCN1B are the cause of generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus type 1 (GEFS+1) [MIM:604233]. Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures-plus refers to a rare autosomal dominant, familial condition with incomplete penetrance and large intrafamilial variability. Patients display febrile seizures persisting sometimes beyond the age of 6 years and/or a variety of afebrile seizure types. GEFS+ is a disease combining febrile seizures, generalized seizures often precipitated by fever at age 6 years or more, and partial seizures, with a variable degree of severity. Defects in SCN1B are the cause of Brugada syndrome type 5 (BRS5) [MIM:612838]. A tachyarrhythmia characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body. When this situation occurs (called ventricular fibrillation), the individual will faint and may die in a few minutes if the heart is not reset. Sequence similarities Belongs to the sodium channel auxiliary subunit SCN1B (TC 8.A.17) family. Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. Cellular localization Membrane. Anti-SCN1B antibody images ICC/IF image of ab107370 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (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 ab107370 at 1µg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence Anti-SCN1B antibody (ab107370) (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti- rabbit (ab96899) 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. 2 Anti-SCN1B antibody (ab107370) at 1/100 dilution + Mouse Neuro-2a cell line lysates at 35 µg Predicted band size : 25 kDa Western blot - SCN1B antibody (ab107370) ab107370 at 1/50 dilution staining SCN1B in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded Human brain tissue by Immunohistochemistry, followed by peroxidase conjugation of the secondary antibody and DAB detection.
