Immunogen Sequence: GI # 4506975, sequence 800-1000

Recombinant solute carrier family 12 (sodium/potassium/chloride transporters), member 2

Anti-SLC12A2 (ab1) antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.

The Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC) is a protein that helps in the active transport of sodium, potassium, and chloride into and out of cells. It couples the movement of Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl^- ions across the plasma membrane of most animal cells and plays a central role in cellular homeostasis and human physiology. The proteins play important roles in Na⁺ and K⁺ concentrations in key physiological systems, including cardiac, vascular, renal, nervous, and sensory systems. NKCC1 levels and functionality are altered in certain disease states. NKCC1 may play a role in glioma cell migration, the precise mechanism by which ion transporter contributes to Glioblastoma (GB) aggressiveness. Its expression levels are found to be significantly higher in GB and anaplastic astrocytoma tissues than in grade II glioma and normal cortex. It also plays a central role in cellular chloride homeostasis and in epithelial salt transport.
