MyBioSource.com's SLC1A4 antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The SLC1A4 antibody was generated using ASCT1, SATT, and SLC1A4 as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
SLC1A4, also known as ASCT1, is a neutral amino acid transporter. Its other name, ASCT1, was given because it mediates obligatory exchange of alanine, serine, cysteine, and threonine (1). SLC1A4 mediates the efflux of glutamate from the neuron into the synaptic junction via calcium-independent release, as well as mediating the efflux of L-serine from glial cells and its uptake by neurons (2). SLC1A4-mediated transport is shown to involve a symmetrical potassium-independent electroneutral exchange of neutral amino acids and sodium, such that the current activated during transport is carried only by chloride ions (3)
