Four separate genes (SCN1B-SCN4B) encode the five mammalian β subunits β1, β1B, β2, β3, and β4. In general, β subunit proteins are type I transmembrane proteins, with the exception of secreted β1B protein (reviewed in 2). β subunits regulate α subunit gating and kinetics, which controls cell excitability (3,4). Sodium channel β subunits also function as Ig superfamily cell adhesion molecules that regulate cell adhesion and migration (5,6). Additional research reveals sequential processing of β subunit proteins by β-secretase (BACE1) and γ secretase, resulting in ectodomain shedding of β subunit and generation of an intracellular carboxy-terminal fragment (CTF). Generation of the CTF is thought to play a role in cell adhesion and migration (7,8). Multiple studies demonstrate a link between β subunit gene mutations and a number of disorders, including epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmia, multiple sclerosis, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuropathy, inflammatory pain, and cancer (9-13). The sodium channel β2 subunit (SCN2B) plays a role in the assembly and functioning of cell surface sodium channels (14). Mutations in the corresponding gene may be associated with a form of atrial fibrillation and at least one identified case of Brugada syndrome (15,16). Research using a rat model of spared nerve injury (SNI) suggests that the β2 subunit may be involved in the generation of neuropathic pain (17).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nATFB14; neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel beta 2 subunit; SCN2B; sodium channel beta 2 subunit; Sodium channel subunit beta-2; sodium channel, voltage gated, type II beta subunit; sodium channel, voltage-gated, type II, beta; sodium channel, voltage-gated, type II, beta polypeptide; sodium voltage-gated channel beta subunit 2\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 37-41\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46801047453865,"sku":"13966T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-13966t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
