Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human SLC6A18
Application
Anti-SLC6A18 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1.25μg/ml and for immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tissue sections at a concentration of 4-8μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
SLC6A18 (XT2) belongs to SLC6 family of transporters that mediate the movement of neurotransmitters, osmolytes and amino acids. XT2 is a neutral amino acid transporter present at the luminal membrane of kidney proximal tubules. The expression of SLC6A18 is associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction in a Japanese population.

The orphan transporter Slc6a18 (XT2) is highly expressed at the luminal membrane of kidney proximal tubules and displays approximately 50% identity with Slc6a19 (B(0)AT1), which is the main neutral amino acid transporter in both kidney and small intestine. As yet
SLC6A18 (solute carrier family 6, member 18) acts as a specific transporter for neurotransmitters, amino acids and osmolytes such as betaine, taurine and creatine. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the human SLC6A18 gene
