Used in neuroscience research to specifically target and study the Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel, which plays a critical role in pain signal transmission. This antibody enables precise detection and localization of Nav1.7 in neuronal tissues through techniques like immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and flow cytometry. It supports drug development efforts for pain therapeutics by helping evaluate channel expression and distribution in disease models. Also used as a reference standard in validating other Nav1.7 detection tools and assays.
