General description

Neutral amino acid transporter, also known as ASCT2, is an alternate of the ASC (alanine-, serine-, cysteine-) transport system and is highly expressed in rat astroglia-rich cultures while not highly expressed in rat neuron-rich cultures. ASCT2 is also thought to be important in the glutamine release from cells. ASCT2 has been implicated in the growth and survival of cancer cells, therefore making it a possible target for cancer therapy. ASCT2 is thought to be a crucial neuronal neutral amino acid transporter.

Specificity

No homology found to mouse or rat. Other homologies: rhesus monkey (93% sequence homology).
This antibody recognizes Neutral amino acid transporter at the N-terminus.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of Neutral amino acid transporter.

Application

Anti-Neutral amino acid transporter (ASCT2) Antibody detects level of Neutral amino acid transporter (ASCT2) & has been published & validated for use in WB, IH(P).
