Anti-SLC12A1 antibody produced in rabbit

SLC12A1 (solute carrier family 12, member 1) is a member of SLC12A family of electrically neutral cation-chloride cotransporters, which contains both NaCl and KCl co-transporters. It is a bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter and is also called NKCC2. This gene is localized to human chromosome 15 (NKCC2). This transporter resides predominantly in the plasma membrane, and has three different isoforms namely, NKCC2B, NKCC2A and NKCC2F. It has twelve transmembrane helices, with its N-terminal facing the cytoplasm. Its transport domain is made of two structurally homologous domains, made of 5-helices each. It has a large C-terminal, present intracellularly, which is responsible for dimerization of the protein.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

SLC12A1 (solute carrier family 12, member 1) plays a key role in blood pressure homeostasis, and has a predominant role in the transport of salt in the thick ascending limb of Henle′s loop. It is responsible for the simultaneous movement of Na⁺, 1 K⁺, and 2 Cl^- across the plasma membrane. Elevated activity of this transporter leads to inherited hypertension. Mutations in this gene are linked to type I Bartter syndrome (BS), which is characterized by hypokalaemia, excess volume depletion, and metabolic alkalosis usually leading to prenatal fatality. Mutations in this gene are also linked to atypical type I Bartter syndrome, which also includes focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Rare mutations in this gene lead to decreased salt reabsorption in kidney, which results in hypotension.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
