Overview
Anti-SVCT2/SLC23A2 (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting Sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2, Na+/L-Ascorbic acid transporter 2, Solute carrier family 23 member 2 Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IF, IFC, IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2, Na+/L-Ascorbic acid transporter 2, Solute carrier family 23 member 2 (also reported as Sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2, Na+/L-Ascorbic acid transporter 2, Solute carrier family 23 member 2).
- Immunogen/epitope region: 2nd extracellular loop.
- Homology note: Rat - identical; human - 11/14 amino acid residues identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Cited use: IFC (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.
- 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
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is an important antioxidant. It also participates in numerous cellular functions such as peptide amidation, myelin formation, synaptic potentiation, and protection against glutamate toxicity. Although it circulates in the plasma in micromolar concentrations, it reaches millimolar concentrations in most tissues.
Research relevance and current trends
- Linking transporter/channel abundance to ionic homeostasis and excitability-related phenotypes.
- Studying compartment-specific localization (surface vs intracellular pools) and trafficking dynamics.
- Combining antibody readouts with functional assays for more complete interpretation.
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.
- Flow cytometry (direct/indirect): quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression across subsets.
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-ST022.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
