Anti-OAT2/SLC22A7 Antibody Picoband®

Solute carrier family 22 member 7, also called SLC22A7 or OAT2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC22A7 gene. This gene is mapped to 6p21.1. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the sodium-independent transport and excretion of organic anions, some of which are potentially toxic. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein and appears to be localized to the basolateral membrane of the kidney. This gene transports prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin F2, tetracycline, bumetanide, estrone sulfate, glutarate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, allopurinol, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel, L-ascorbic acid, salicylate, ethotrexate, and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Transcription factor MafA; Pancreatic beta-cell-specific transcriptional activator; RIPE3b1 factor; V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A; MAFA

Transcription factor that activates insulin gene expression. Acts synergistically with NEUROD1/BETA2 and PDX1. Binds the insulin enhancer C1/RIPE3b element. Binds to consensus TRE-type MARE 5'-TGCTGACTCAGCA-3' DNA sequence.
