Anti-SLC12A1 Antibody Picoband®

Solute carrier family 12 (sodium/potassium/chloride transporters), member 1, also called NKCC2 is specifically found in cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle in nephrons, the basic functional units of the kidney. This gene is mapped to 15q21.1. This gene encodes a kidney-specific sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter that is expressed on the luminal membrane of renal epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and the macula densa. It plays a key role in concentrating urine and accounts for most of the NaCl resorption. It is sensitive to such diuretics as furosemide and bumetanide. Some Bartter-like syndromes result from defects in this gene. This gene plays a vital role in the regulation of ionic balance and cell volume.

Solute carrier family 12 member 1; Bumetanide-sensitive sodium- (potassium) -chloride cotransporter 2; Kidney-specific Na-K-Cl symporter; SLC12A1; NKCC2

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human SLC12A1, different from the related mouse sequence by two amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by four amino acids.

Electrically silent transporter system. Mediates sodium and chloride reabsorption. Plays a vital role in the regulation of ionic balance and cell volume.
