Description

General description

Zinc transporter ZIP8 (UniProt Q9C0K1; also known as BCG-induced integral membrane protein in monocyte clone 103 protein, LIV-1 subfamily of ZIP zinc transporter 6, LZT-Hs6, Solute carrier family 39 member 8, ZIP-8, Zrt- and Irt-like protein 8) is encoded by the SLC39A8 (also known as BIGM103, ZIP8, PP3105) gene (Gene ID 64116) in human. Zinc transporters mediate the transport of zinc ions into intracellular compartments as well as the export of excess zinc out of cells. Disruption of zinc homeostasis is responsible for many chronic neurodegenerative diseases and acute neural injuries. Excessive and inadequate levels of bioavailable zinc are detrimental to the health of neurons. Two classes of multipass transmembrane Zn transporters are known, including 10 ZnTs and 14 ZIPs, that exhibit opposing functions in mediating zinc homeostasis. These transporters are located on plasma and vesicular membranes with tissue-specific expression pattern. ZIP8 is a negative regulator of the NF-κB signaling pathway through zinc-mediated suppression of IKK activity in monocytes, macrophages, and lung epithelia. ZIP8 expression is induced following innate immune activation and correlates with intracellular zinc sequestration. Human ZIP8 is an 8-transmembrane protein (a.a. 9-29, 133-153, 161-181, 192-212, 303-323, 366-386, 389-409, 430-450) that has both its N- and C-termini (a.a. 1-8 & 451-460) exposed extracelluarly with 4 intracellular and 3 extracellular loops in between.

~52 kDa observed. Target band size appears larger than the calculated molecular weights of 49.63/43.13/48.09 kDa (human isoform 1/2/3) due to glycosylation.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a sequence within the second extracellular loop of human ZIP-8.

Application

This Anti-ZIP-8 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting for the detection of ZIP-8.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Immunogen sequence is present in all three spliced isoforms of human ZIP-8 reported by UniProt (Q9C0K1).

Analysis Note

Evaluated by Western Blotting in human lung tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 2.0 µg/mL of this antibody detected ZIP-8 in 10 µg of human lung tissue lysate.
