Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 9 (SLC38A9) is a lysosomal amino acid transporter, involved in the regulation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity in response to amino acid levels within the lysosomal lumen. A sodium-couple amino acid transporter at the lysosome, SLC38A9, senses arginine from within the lysosome to convey arginine sufficiency to mTORC1. SLC38A9 forms a complex with other lysosomal resident proteins including the v-ATPase and a pentameric complex called Ragulator. v-ATPase function is necessary for mTORC1 activation, but the molecular mechanism of this regulation is currently unclear2. Ragulator binds strongly to the Rag GTPases and was shown to function as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) for RagA\/B. Potentially SLC38A9 and the v-ATPase are able to regulate mTORC1 activity by modulating Ragulator�s GEF activity. RagA\/B is not the only Rag GTPase that is regulated, but a Folliculin-FNIP2 complex is a GAP for RagC\/D. In short, SLC38A9 is a functional component of the lysosomal amino acid sensing machinery involved in the control of mTORC1 activity, that underlies the regulation of the metabolic status and cellular responses to growth factors, energy, glucose and amino acid levels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWestern blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImmunofluorescence: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpitope context:\u003c\/strong\u003e binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title\/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies differences:\u003c\/strong\u003e predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e include negative controls (no-primary\/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO\/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry Q8NBW4 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q8NBW4 - Gene search: URLC11 — NCBI Gene — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=URLC11 - Ensembl search: URLC11 — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=URLC11 - PubMed search: URLC11 antibody — PubMed — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=URLC11+antibody - Reactome search: URLC11 — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=URLC11 --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53046483747181,"sku":"RQ8571","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_8a57674a-d168-4a06-9e08-5db4f99e9156.jpg?v=1772000879","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/slc38a9-antibody-urlc11-bha17130127","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
