ANTI-SLC22A23 (C15-1448-209)

General description

SLC22A23 (solute carrier family 22, member 23) is an orphan member of organic membrane transporter family called SLC22. This gene is localized to human chromosome 6p25.2, consists of seven exons, and codes for a protein composed of 405 amino acids. This protein spans the membrane 9 times.

Immunogen

Solute carrier family 22 member 23 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SLC22A23 (solute carrier family 22, member 23) is an orphan protein, and does not have a known substrate. However, studies show that its substrate might be an intracellular antioxidant. SNP rs17309827-T in this gene is linked with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Variants of this gene are also associated with diseases containing inflammatory processes such as, endometriosis-related infertility. SNP rs17136561 is linked with the pathogenesis of asthma, and this gene can be used to predict the relapse of triple-negative breast cancer in a population of Taiwanese women. Mutations in this gene are also linked to ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease in Canadian white cohort. It is expressed in heart, and has an essential role in the development of heart in mice. It leads to the prolongation of QT interval in heart, in the presence of quetiapine, which is an anti-psychotic drug.

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

Corresponding Antigen APREST73118.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
