Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (gene SLC1A1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 57.1 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 70 kDa.
Excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3, SLC1A1; also called EAAC1) is a sodium-coupled glutamate transporter found mainly in neurons and in kidney and intestinal epithelia. Besides clearing glutamate, it takes up cysteine for glutathione synthesis, and in the kidney it reabsorbs acidic amino acids.

Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human EAAT3/SLC1A1 fragment (Gln160–Phe524), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places excitatory amino acid transporter 3 in the cell membrane, apical cell membrane, synapse and early endosome membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in all tissues tested including liver, muscle, testis, ovary, retinoblastoma cell line, neurons and brain (in which there was dense expression in substantia nigra, red nucleus, hippocampus and in cerebral cortical layers). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
