Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from part region of human protein
Specificity
CTR3 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000
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 solute carrier family 7. The encoded protein is a sodium-independent cationic amino acid transporter. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcripts that encoded the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
function:Mediates the uptake of the cationic amino acids arginine, lysine and ornithine in a sodium-independent manner.,PTM:N-glycosylated.,similarity:Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. Cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) (TC 2.A.3.3) family.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in thymus, uterus and testis. Detected at lower levels in brain, mammary gland, prostate, salivary gland and fetal spleen. In brain, highest expression in thalamus, hippocampus and amygdala.,
