Anti-SLC16A1 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1445-893)

General description

Solute carrier family 16, member 1 (SLC16A1) gene spanning 44kb is mapped to human chromosome 1p13.2-p12. The encoded protein MCT1, belongs to the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) family.

Immunogen

Monocarboxylate transporter 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-SLC16A1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunostaining and immunoblotting.

Anti-SLC16A1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Solute carrier family 16, member 1(SLC16A1) gene encodes a proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes the transport of many monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, branched-chain oxo acids, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and acetate.The protein is essential for normal assimilation of nutrients. It is coexpressed with lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) in basal-like breast cancer. It is found to be expressed on tumor cells. It serves as a potential therapeutic target for high-risk neuroblastomas. Mutation in SLC16A1 causes profound ketoacidosis characterized with imbalanced hepatic production and extrahepatic utilization of ketone bodies.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage
