Other Names | Solute carrier family 52, riboflavin transporter, member 1, Porcine endogenous retrovirus A receptor 2, PERV-A receptor 2, Protein GPR172B, Riboflavin transporter 1, hRFT1, SLC52A1, GPR172B, PAR2, RFT1 |
Target/Specificity | This GPR172B antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 162-190 amino acids from the Central region of human GPR172B. |
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 | GPR172B Antibody (Center) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | SLC52A1 (HGNC:30225) |
---|---|
Synonyms | GPR172B, PAR2, RFT1 |
Function | Plasma membrane transporter mediating the uptake by cells of the water soluble vitamin B2/riboflavin that plays a key role in biochemical oxidation-reduction reactions of the carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism (PubMed:18632736, PubMed:20463145). Humans are unable to synthesize vitamin B2/riboflavin and must obtain it via intestinal absorption (PubMed:20463145). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Highly expressed in the testis, placenta and small intestine. Expressed at lower level in other tissues. |
