Gene Information

human ... SLC7A7(9056)

General description

The gene SLC7A7 (solute carrier family 7 member 7) is mapped to human chromosome 14q11.2. It is an amino acid transporter and belongs to the SLC family of proteins. The gene encodes for y+LAT1 protein (the catalytic light chain subunit) which heterodimerizes with 4F2hc (the heavy chain subunit). Together, they result in y+L amino acid transport activity in the basolateral cell membrane of the epithelial cells of the renal proximal tubule and the small intestine.

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

SLC7A7 (solute carrier family 7 member 7) is involved in influx/efflux of cationic and large neutral amino acids across membrane. The transporter works in a sodium-independent manner. SLC7A7 is associated with various cancers such as ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and multiple myeloma. It is upregulated in glioblastoma. Mutation in this gene is associated with lysinuric protein intolerance.

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.
