Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human SLC39A1. AA range:111-160
Specificity
ZIP1 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of ZIP1 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/5000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
This gene encodes a member of the zinc-iron permease family. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and acts as a zinc uptake transporter. This gene has been linked to prostate cancer, breast cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012],
Function
function:Mediates zinc uptake. May function as a major endogenous zinc uptake transporter in many cells of the body. Responsible for the rapid uptake and accumulation of physiologically effective zinc in prostate cells.,miscellaneous:Inhibited by Ni(2+) ions. Fe(2+) ions do not inhibit zinc uptake.,similarity:Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.,subcellular location:Shows a vesicular localization corresponding partially to the endoplasmic reticulum in several epithelial cell lines.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Expressed in most adult and fetal tissues including the epidermis.,
