Overview
Anti-SLC47A2 Antibody is an antibody targeting MATE2, Multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 2, H+/organic cation antiporter kidney-specific Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: MATE2, Multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 2, H+/organic cation antiporter kidney-specific (also reported as MATE2, Multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 2, H+/organic cation antiporter kidney-specific).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 6th intracellular loop.
- Homology note: Rat - 14/16 amino acid residues identical; human - not recommended for use with human samples (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Rat.
- Specificity statement (as provided): Not recommended for use with human samples..
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Solute carriers control the efflux and uptake of crucial compounds such as sugars, amino acids and ions in cells and organelles1. Multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins, also known as MATEs are responsible for the efflux of organic cations, endogenous compounds and drugs from cells. The driving force for this transport is derived from an oppositely directed proton gradient thus making MATE transporters secondary active transporters.
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.
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-NT132.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
