Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-alpha Internexin/INA Antibody Picoband® catalog # A03756-1.

Biological background

Biological context: Sodium-dependent glucose transporter. Has a Na+ to glucose coupling ratio of 1:1. Efficient substrate transport in mammalian kidney is provided by the concerted action of a low affinity high capacity and a high affinity low capacity Na+/glucose cotransporter arranged in series along kidney proximal tubules.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare INA levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of INA in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify INA-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: Alpha-Internexin (INA; also NF-66) is a 66 kDa member of the intermediate filament (IF) protein family. The protein was originally purified from rat optic nerve and spinal cord. And the protein copurifies with other neurofilament subunits, as it was originally discovered, however in some mature neurons it can be the only neurofilament expressed. The protein is present in developing neuroblasts and in the Central Nervous System of adults. Meanwhile, the protein is a major component of the intermediate filament network in small interneurons and cerebellar granule cells, where it is present in the parallel fibers.
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein.
• Research category: Cancer,Channels,Metabolism,Plasma Membrane,Signal Transduction
