ZIP8 Blocking Peptide | Slc39a8 blocking peptide
ZIP8 Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the SLC39 family of solute-carrier genes, which show structural characteristics of zinc transporters. The encoded protein is glycosylated and found in the plasma membrane and mitochondria, and functions in the cellular import of zinc at the onset of inflammation. It is also thought to be the primary transporter of the toxic cation cadmium, which is found in cigarette smoke. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Product Notes
The Slc39a8 slc39a8 (Catalog #AAA151851) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's ZIP8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). ZIP8 peptide is used for blocking the activity of ZIP8 antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Slc39a8 slc39a8 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 "ZIP8, Blocking Peptide" 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
