General description

Solute carrier family 19 (folate transporter), member 1 (SLC19A1, CHMD, FOLT, RFC1, IFC1) is a major carrier-mediated transporter in mammalian cells for the uptake of reduced folates and antifolate-based anticancer drugs such as methotrexate. RFC activity can be considered as a potential marker for predicting response to antifolate chemotherapy.

Specificity

Anti-SLC19A1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human solute carrier family 19 (folate transporter), member 1.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human SLC19A1

Application

Anti-SLC19A1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag solute carrier family 19 (folate transporter), member 1 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of solute carrier family 19 (folate transporter), member 19 in carrier-mediated reduced folate uptake.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Transport of folate compounds into mammalian cells can occur via receptor-mediated or carrier-mediated mechanisms. A functional coordination between these 2 mechanisms has been proposed to be the method of folate uptake in certain cell types. Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate chemotherapeutic agent that is actively transported by the carrier-mediated uptake system. SLC19A1 plays a role in maintaining intracellular concentrations of folate.Transport of folate compounds into mammalian cells can occur via receptor-mediated (see MIM 136430) or carrier-mediated mechanisms.
