anti-Rat NBC1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-NBC1 antibody

Anti - NBC1 (Na, HCO3 Cotransporter 1, pNBC)

Cat. Num. AAA618636

• Reactivity: Rat
• Applications: ELISA, Western Blot
• Purity: Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
• Synonyms: NBC1; Polyclonal Antibody; Anti - NBC1 (Na; HCO3 Cotransporter 1; pNBC); NBC1 (Na; anti-NBC1 antibody

• Host: Host: Rabbit; Source: Rat
• Reactivity: Rat
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Specificity: Rat NBC1 sequence is 100% conserved in rat, 85% in human and 80% in rabbit and frog NBC1/PSLC4A4/kNBC. This region is also shared 100% with mouse pNBC/PSLC4A5. Therefore, antibodies will recognize both the kidney and pancreatic/heart isoforms. No significant sequence homology of NBC1 was found with NBC2 or NBC3. Antibody crossreactivity in various species is not established.
• Purity/Purification: Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
• Form/Format: Affinity Purified; Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.1% BSA, 40% glycerol.
• Concentration: 0.5mg/ml (varies by lot)

• Applicable Applications for anti-NBC1 antibody: ELISA, Western Blot
• Application Notes: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot. Other applications not tested.; Dilution: Western Blot: 1-10ug/ml using Chemiluminescence technique. We recommend the use of control peptide in antibody blocking experiments to establish antibody specificity. Control peptides, because of their small size (< 2kD), are not suitable for Western.; ELISA: 1:5000-1:50,000 (Coat with 50-100ng of control peptide/well).; Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
• Immunogen: A 20-aa peptide sequence within the cytoplasmic, C-terminus of rat NBC1 (1) was used to generate anti-NBC1. The peptide was coupled with KLH.
• Preparation and Storage: May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Bicarbonate, along with CO2, is the major pH buffer of biological fluids. The inter-conversion of CO2 to HCO3- is mediated by family of carbonic anhydrases. Several organs specialize in the mobilization of HCO3-. The pancreatic ducts move CO2 and HCO3- from the blood into pancreatic secretions. The kidneys reabsorb massive amount of HCO3- daily (amount of NaHCO3 contained in 1 Ib of baking soda) through the glomerular flirtation of ~180 liters of plasma. To prevent a massive acidosis, the proximal tubules (PT) cells in the nephron subsequently reabsorb virtually all of HCO3-, as well as most of the filtered Na+, Cl-, and H2O. A great majority of HCO3- reabsorption occurs via trans-cellular coupling of the luminal Na-H+ exchanger 3 and Na+-H+ ATPase with the basolateral Na+ HCO3- cotransporters (NBC). Several related proteins constitute the emerging NBC family (NBC1-3) of membrane cotransporters that are found in a variety of epithelial and non-epithelial tissues, and may be tissue specific. Physiologically, NBC is electrogenic, Na+ and HCO3- dependent, Cl- independent, and inhibited by stilbenes (DIDS and SITS). The NBC family of proteins are 30-35% related to anion exchangers (AE2 and AE3; SLC4A1-SLC4A3) and display the same protein topology: (a) At least 10 TM domains with both the N and C-termini predicted to be intracellular, (b) presence of a large, glycosylated, extracellular loop between TM5 and TM6; and (c) the lysine residues are conserved at predicted DIDS-reactive sites.
