SLC7A5 Antibody - N-terminal region : Biotin (ARP63651_P050-Biotin)

SLC7A5 is a sodium-independent, high-affinity transport of large neutral amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, arginine and tryptophan, when associated with SLC3A2/4F2hc. SLC7A5 is involved in cellular amino acid uptake. SLC7A5 acts as an amino acid exchanger. SLC7A5 is involved in the transport of L-DOPA across the blood-brain barrier, and that of thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) across the cell membrane in tissues such as placenta. SLC7A5 plays a role in neuronal cell proliferation (neurogenesis) in brain. SLC7A5 is involved in the uptake of methylmercury (MeHg) when administered as the L-cysteine or D, L-homocysteine complexes, and hence plays a role in metal ion homeostasis and toxicity. SLC7A5 is involved in the cellular activity of small molecular weight nitrosothiols, via the stereoselective transport of L-nitrosocysteine (L-CNSO) across the transmembrane. SLC7A5 may play an important role in high-grade gliomas. SLC7A5 mediates blood-to-retina L-leucine transport across the inner blood-retinal barrier which in turn may play a key role in maintaining large neutral amino acids as well as neurotransmitters in the neural retina. SLC7A5 acts as the major transporter of tyrosine in fibroblasts.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
