Monoclonal Anti-SLC13A5 antibody produced in mouse

The solute carrier family 13 member 5 (SLC13A5) gene is mapped to human chromosome 17p13.1. It is highly expressed in the plasma membrane of hepatocytes and is also expressed in the cells of testis and brain.

SLC13A5 (NP_808218, 152 a.a. ~ 206 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.

SLC13A5 (solute carrier family 13 member 5) is a sodium-coupled citrate transporter. Its function involves the transportation of citrate from the bloodstream into the liver. The expression of the gene is found to be increased in obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Downregulation of SLC13A5 promotes AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) activation and inhibits ACLY (ATP citrate lyase) expression. SLC13A5 is thus found to regulate homeostasis of energy and lipid in liver cancer, as the gene is associated with synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol. Mutation in the SLC13A5 gene leads to early occurrence of epilepsy, developmental delay and tooth dysplasia in children.
