Target: SLC7A8 (Solute Carrier Family 7 (Amino Acid Transporter, L-Type), Member 8 (SLC7A8))

Reactivity: Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This SLC7A8 antibody is un-conjugated

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

Specificity: Recognizes mouse and rat Slc7a8. Has been reported to work in human samples (Wirth,et al.; 2009), but was not tested in-house.Detects a -50kDa Slc7a8 band in wild type mouse brain, kidney, jejunum, ileum and othertissues, which is absent in knock-out animals. ln some tissues the antibody detects anadditional unknown 38kDa band.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Other species not tested.Detects a ~50 kDa Slc7a8 band in wild type mouse brain, kidney, jejunum, ileum and other tissues, which is absent in knock-out animals. In some tissues the antibody detects an additional unknown 38 kDa band.

Background: L-type amino acid transporter (LAT) family members are Na(+)-independent transporters, which deliver neutral amino acids into cells. The four LATs, LAT1 (SLC7A5), LAT2 (SLC7A8), LAT3 (SLC43A1) and LAT4 (SLC43A2) are responsible for the majority of cellular leucine uptake. They show increased expression in many cancers and are critical for control of protein translation and cell growth through the mTORC1 pathway. The increased transporter expression observed in cancers is regulated by transcriptional pathways such as hormone receptors, c-myc and nutrient starvation responses.
