Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

|---|---|
| Other Names | Putative sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 8, Solute carrier family 38 member 8, SLC38A8 |
| Target/Specificity | This SLC38A8 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 149-177 amino acids from the Central region of human SLC38A8. |
| Dilution | WB~~1:1000 |
| Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | SLC38A8 Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | SLC38A8 {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5HZH7, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:32434} |
|---|---|
| Function | Electrogenic sodium-dependent amino acid transporter with a preference for L-glutamine, L-alanine, L-histidine, L-aspartate and L- arginine. May facilitate glutamine uptake in both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The transport mechanism and stoichiometry remain to be elucidated. |
| Cellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5HZH7}; Multi- pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5HZH7}. Cell projection, axon {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5HZH7} |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in fetal and adult brain, and spinal cord. In the brain, it is localized in the cell body and axon of the majority of neuronal cells and in a subset of glial cells. Found throughout the neuronal retina, with higher expression levels in the inner and outer plexiform layers and the photoreceptor layer. Very weak expression is also present in the kidneys, thymus, and testes |
