SLC26A5 Antibody

SLC26A5 is a member of the SLC26A/SulP transporter family. SLC26A5 is specifically expressed in outer hair cells (OHCs) of the cochlea and is essential in auditory processing. Intracellular anions are thought to act as extrinsic voltage sensors, which bind to this protein and trigger the conformational changes required for rapid length changes in OHCs. Mutations in its gene have been associated with non-syndromic hearing loss.This gene is a member of the SLC26A/SulP transporter family. It encodes a protein that is specifically expressed in outer hair cells (OHCs) of the cochlea and is essential in auditory processing. Intracellular anions are thought to act as extrinsic voltage sensors, which bind to this protein and trigger the conformational changes required for rapid length changes in OHCs. Mutations in this gene have been associated with non-syndromic hearing loss. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store SLC26A5 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

SLC26A5 antibody can be used for detection of SLC26A5 by ELISA at 1:312500. SLC26A5 antibody can be used for detection of SLC26A5 by western blot at 2.5 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
