Gene Information

human ... SLC31A1(1317)

General description

The gene SLC31A1 (solute carrier family 31, member 1) is also referred to as CTR1 and is predominantly expressed in the liver and kidney. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 9q32. Though the protein is mainly localized to the plasma membrane, in human carcinoma cell lines it is observed to be distributed in cytoplasmic vesicular compartments.

Immunogen

High affinity copper uptake protein 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene SLC31A1 (solute carrier family 31, member 1) encodes a copper transporter that is localized to the cell membrane. It is involved in the uptake of dietary copper. Overexpression of this protein leads to copper accumulation in cells. The encoded protein is also involved in the cellular accumulation and toxicity of platinum-based anti-cancer drugs, such as cisplatin. During early embryogenesis, it is found to play a role in propagating the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signal.

Features and Benefits

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.

Copper is a vital mineral for many organisms, yet it is highly toxic as demonstrated by serious health concerns associated with its deficiency or excess accumulation. The SLC31 (CTR) family of copper transporters is a major gateway of copper acquisition
