Anti-SLC1A4 (Neutral Amino Acid Transporter A, Alanine/Serine/Cysteine/Threonine Transporter 1, ASCT

ASCT1 functions primarily as a neutral amino acid exchanger. ASCT 1-mediated transport requires the presence of sodium ions but ASCT1 mediates only homo- and hetero exchange of amino acids and is insensitive to K+. The properties of ASCT1 suggest that it may function to equilibrate different pools of neutral amino acids and provide a mechanism to link amino acid concentration gradients. ASCT1 expression has been found at varying levels in every tissue examined. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 15-20ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
