Anti-SLC19A1 antibody produced in rabbit

The gene SLC19A1 (solute carrier family 19 member 1) is mapped to human chromosome 21q22. It is expressed in many tissues, mainly enterocytes and hepatocytes.

solute carrier family 19 (folate transporter), member 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anti-SLC19A1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.

At physiological pH, SLC19A1 (solute carrier family 19 member 1) is involved in the transfer of reduced folates into the cells. It is also involved in the uptake of the antifolate methotrexate. In osteosarcoma and neuroblastoma, decrease in the activity of SLC19A1 leads to methotrexate resistance. In patients with colorectal cancer, high expression of SLC19A1 reduces risk of recurrent disease (disease-free survival). SLC19A1 might be linked with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate and neural tube defects. Additionally, mutations in SLC19A1 gene are associated with risk of ischemic stroke.

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.

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