General description

Solute carrier family 43 member 3 (SLC43A3) belongs to an amino acid transporter family. It is expressed in fetal liver, kidney, placenta and lung. It is considered as a facilitative and purine-selective nucleobase transporter. The gene is located on human chromosome 11q12.1.

Immunogen

solute carrier family 43, member 3 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

Solute carrier family 43 member 3 (SLC43A3) aids the cellular uptake of extracellular purine nucleobases in assistance with salvage enzymes. SLC43A3 along with salvage enzymes helps in tumor growth and proliferation. It helps in the uptake of ganciclovir (GCV) and improves the activity of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK)/GCV suicide gene therapy. The protein helps in the transport of nutrients, which is required for the early development and growth.

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.

6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is a nucleobase analog used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and inflammatory bowel disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying its transport into target cells have remained elusive. The protein encoded by SLC43A3_1 [equilibrative nucleobase transporter 1 (ENBT1)]
