Cat. No. : CSC-RI0168
Host Cell : CHO Size : >1x106 frozen cells/vial
| Cat. No. | CSC-RI0168 |
| Description | This cell line is engineered to overexpress human SCN8A. |
| Background | The human SCN8A gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of Nav1.6, a voltage-gated sodium channel expressed in central and peripheral nervous systems. Mutations in the mouse ortholog cause ataxia and other movement disorders. Nav1.6 channels are therapeutic targets in multiple sclerosis and seizure. |

| Safety Considerations |
The following safety precautions should be observed. 1. Use pipette aids to prevent ingestion and keep aerosols down to a minimum. 2. No eating, drinking or smoking while handling the stable line. 3. Wash hands after handling the stable line and before leaving the lab. 4. Decontaminate work surface with disinfectant or 70% ethanol before and after working with stable cells. 5. All waste should be considered hazardous. 6. Dispose of all liquid waste after each experiment and treat with bleach. |
