Anti-SLC7A1 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1341-461)

General description

Solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1/ high affinity cationic amino acid transporter 1 (SLC7A1, ATRC1, CAT-1, ERR, REC1L) is a y+ system cationic amino acid transporter family member that supports arginine uptake and nitric oxide (NO) production. Mouse CAT-1 is a viral receptor for ecotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV) (eMLV), making it a model for study of retrovirus infection mechanisms and pathogenesis.

Specificity

Anti-SLC7A1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human and pig solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human SLC7A1

Application

Anti-SLC7A1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag Solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 in cationic amino acid uptake and retrovirus infection mechanisms and pathogenesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SLC7A1 is a high-affinity, low capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) in non-hepatic tissues. It may also function as an ecotropic retroviral leukemia receptor.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: LGFIMVSGFVKGSVKNWQLTEEDFGNTSGRLCLNNDTKEGKPGVGGFMPF

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.
