NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
SLC26A5: Motor protein that converts auditory stimuli to length changes in outer hair cells and mediates sound amplification in the mammalian hearing organ. Prestin is a bidirectional voltage- to-force converter, it can operate at microsecond rates. It uses cytoplasmic anions as extrinsic voltage sensors, probably chloride and bicarbonate. After binding to a site with millimolar affinity, these anions are translocated across the membrane in response to changes in the transmembrane voltage. They move towards the extracellular surface following hyperpolarization, and towards the cytoplasmic side in response to depolarization. As a consequence, this translocation triggers conformational changes in the protein that ultimately alter its surface area in the plane of the plasma membrane. The area decreases when the anion is near the cytoplasmic face of the membrane (short state), and increases when the ion has crossed the membrane to the outer surface (long state). So, it acts as an incomplete transporter. It swings anions across the membrane, but does not allow these anions to dissociate and escape to the extracellular space. Salicylate, an inhibitor of outer hair cell motility, acts as competitive antagonist at the prestin anion-binding site. Defects in SLC26A5 are the cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 61 (DFNB61). A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. Belongs to the SLC26A/SulP transporter (TC 2.A.53) family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The SLC26A5 slc26a5 (Catalog #AAA8559990) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The SLC26A5 Rabbit pAb reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's SLC26A5 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). WB: 200-1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SLC26A5 slc26a5 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 "SLC26A5, 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
