Gene Information

human ... SLC16A8(23539)

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human SLC16A8

Application

Anti-SLC16A8 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 2.5μg/ml and for immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tissue sections at a concentration of 4-8μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SLC16A8 (MCT3) is a proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter that facilitates the movement of lactate across the cell membranes. Mutation in the gene for MCT3 results in altered visual function in mice and has been associated with age-related macular degeneration.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: RAFAVYAVTKFLMALGLFVPAILLVNYAKDAGVPDTDAAFLLSIVGFVDI

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

To meet the high-energy demands of photoreceptor cells, the outer retina metabolizes glucose through glycolytic and oxidative pathways, resulting in large-scale production of lactate and CO(2). Mct3, a proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter, is critically positioned to facilitate transport of lactate and
