Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1/ high affinity cationic amino acid transporter 1 (SLC7A1, ATRC1, CAT-1, ERR, REC1L) is a y+ system cationic amino acid transporter family member that supports arginine uptake and nitric oxide (NO) production. Mouse CAT-1 is a viral receptor for ecotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV) (eMLV), making it a model for study of retrovirus infection mechanisms and pathogenesis._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ Anti-SLC7A1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human and pig solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 proteins._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human SLC7A1_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-SLC7A1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag Solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 1 in cationic amino acid uptake and retrovirus infection mechanisms and pathogenesis._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ SLC7A1 is a high-affinity, low capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) in non-hepatic tissues. It may also function as an ecotropic retroviral leukemia receptor._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ Synthetic peptide located within the following region: LGFIMVSGFVKGSVKNWQLTEEDFGNTSGRLCLNNDTKEGKPGVGGFMPF
