Anti-CAT1/SLC7A1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

High affinity cationic amino acid transporter 1, also called solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 (SLC7A1) or ATRC1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC7A1 gene. This gene is mapped to 13q12.3. It acts as a cationic amino acid transporter and as an ecotropic retrovirus receptor and plays a role in the Na+-independent y+ cationic amino acid transport system. This gene is high-affinity, low capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) in non-hepatic tissues.

High affinity cationic amino acid transporter 1; CAT-1; CAT1; Ecotropic retroviral leukemia receptor homolog; Ecotropic retrovirus receptor homolog; ERR; Solute carrier family 7 member 1; System Y+ basic amino acid transporter; SLC7A1; ATRC1, ERR, REC1L

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human CAT1, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by four amino acids.

High-affinity, low capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) in non-hepatic tissues. May also function as an ecotropic retroviral leukemia receptor. .
