Overview
Anti-SGLT1 (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting Na+/glucose cotransporter 1, NAGT, High affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter, SLC5A1 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Na+/glucose cotransporter 1, NAGT, High affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter, SLC5A1 (also reported as Na+/glucose cotransporter 1, NAGT, High affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter, SLC5A1).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular, N-terminus.
- Homology note: Mouse - 12/13 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Rat, Mouse.
- Specificity statement (as provided): Not recommended for human samples..
- Cited use: IHC (literature use does not guarantee performance in every setup).
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
The SGLT-1 (Sodium-glucose linked transporter) is part of the SLC5 family of sodium-glucose transporters. This family has more than 220 members in human and bacterial cells and they are expressed in various tissues such as the gut, kidneys and the central nervous system. In human, these transporters are encoded by eleven genes1.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparing target expression across perturbations, genotypes, or treatment conditions.
- Interpreting localization shifts alongside pathway or phenotypic readouts.
- Using orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, isotype concepts) to support conclusions.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC: assess subcellular localization and co-localization with markers in cells or sections.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-GT031.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
