Anti-Slc37A2 Antibody

The Slc37 gene family consists of four members which have 10-12 predicted transmembrane domains and belong to the sugar-phosphate transporter superfamily. Recent experiments have demonstrated that Slc37A2 is a macrophage-specific gene selectively expressed in obese white adipose tissue. Its transcript is also expressed in spleen and thymus and the cell lines RAW264.7 and THP-1. Compared to wild-type mice, Slc37A2 mRNA is expressed at nine-fold higher levels in abdominal epididymal fat deposits of ob/ob mice, suggesting that it may be required to limit the contribution of macrophages to the inflammatory state present in obesity. Slc37A2 protein is post-translationally modified with the addition of N-linked glycans and migrates as a heterogeneous species of 50-75kDa.

Slc37A2 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of human Slc37A2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 230 - 280 of Slc37A2.

Inorganic phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate antiporter. May transport cytoplasmic glucose-6-phosphate into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and translocate inorganic phosphate into the opposite direction. Independent of a lumenal glucose-6- phosphatase. May not play a role in homeostatic regulation of blood glucose levels.

Slc37A2 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
