Rabbit anti-Human SLC7A7 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-SLC7A7 antibody
SLC7A7 Antibody; FITC conjugated
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is the light subunit of a cationic amino acid transporter. This sodium-independent transporter is formed when the light subunit encoded by this gene dimerizes with the heavy subunit transporter protein SLC3A2. This transporter is found in epithelial cell membranes where it transfers cationic and large neutral amino acids from the cell to the extracellular space. Defects in this gene are a cause of lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
Uniprot Description
SLC7A7: Involved in the sodium-independent uptake of dibasic amino acids and sodium-dependent uptake of some neutral amino acids. Requires coexpression with SLC3A2/4F2hc to mediate the uptake of arginine, leucine and glutamine. Plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via transport of L-arginine. Involved in the transport of L- arginine in monocytes. Defects in SLC7A7 are the cause of lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI). LPI is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder found mainly in Finland and Italy. On a normal diet, LPI patients present poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhea, episodes of hyperammoniaemic coma and growth retardation. Hepatosplenomegaly, osteoporosis and a life- threatening pulmonary involvement (alveolar proteinosis) are also seen. Biochemically LPI is characterized by a defect in the plasma membrane transport of dibasic amino acids. Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. L-type amino acid transporter (LAT) (TC 2.A.3.8) family.

Product Notes
The SLC7A7 slc7a7 (Catalog #AAA7005311) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The SLC7A7 Antibody; FITC conjugated reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's SLC7A7 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SLC7A7 slc7a7 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SLC7A7, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
