Antigen: Solute Carrier Family 17 (Sodium-Dependent Inorganic Phosphate Cotransporter), Member 8 (SLC17A8)

Synonyms: Vglut3, BC042593, DFNA25, VGLUT3, vglut3, si:ch211-264e16.4

Binding Site: C-Term

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Mouse (Murine)

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN351385

Additional Information

Alternative name: VGluT3 (Vesicular glutamate transporter 3)

UniProt: Q8BFU8

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the c-terminal region of mouse VGLUT3 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG

Description: FUNCTION: Mediates the uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles at presynaptic nerve terminals of excitatory neural cells. May also mediate the transport of inorganic phosphate. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasmic vesicle › secretory vesicle › synaptic vesicle membrane. Membrane; Multi-pass membrane proteinPotential. Cell junction › synapse › synaptosome. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain, kidney and liver. Expressed within the amygdala, brainstem, cerberal cortex, dorsal root ganglia, dorsal spinal cord, hippocampus, hypothalamus, retina, striatum and ventral spinal cord. Expressed within neurons of the caudate-putamen,olfactory tubercle, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, interpeduncular nucleus and dorsal and medial raphe nuclei. Expressed in inner hair cells of the ear. Expressed at synaptic terminals within the lateral superior olive (LSO), a nucleus of the mammalian sound localization system, and in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB), which provides inhibitory input to the LSO. Also known as: Vesicular glutamate transporter 3, Solute carrier family 17 member 8.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for VGLUT3.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A concentration of 10-50 µg/ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: IgG

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
