The SLC17A3 Antibody (PAC02920) is a polyclonal antibody specifically designed for research involving SLC17A3, a solute carrier protein involved in the transport of inorganic phosphate. This antibody, produced using rabbits as the host species, is highly reactive with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the SLC17A3 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in various cell types, making it an essential tool for studies in biochemistry and molecular biology.
SLC17A3, also known as sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2C, plays a crucial role in cellular phosphate homeostasis by mediating the uptake of phosphate into cells. Aberrant expression or function of SLC17A3 has been implicated in various diseases, including phosphate-related disorders, kidney diseases, and metabolic syndromes. Research into SLC17A3 function is fundamental for understanding the mechanisms underlying these conditions and may lead to the development of targeted therapies for patients in need.

Background:
Isoform 2: voltage-driven, multispecific, organic anion transporter able to transport para-aminohippurate (PAH), estrone sulfate, estradiol-17-beta-glucuronide, bumetanide, and ochratoxin A. Isoform 2 functions as urate efflux transporter on the apical side of renal proximal tubule and is likely to act as an exit path for organic anionic drugs as well as urate in vivo. May be involved in actively transporting phosphate into cells via Na(+) cotransport.
Synonyms:
Sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 4 (Na(+)/PI cotransporter 4) (Sodium/phosphate cotransporter 4) (Solute carrier family 17 member 3), SLC17A3, NPT4

Isoform 2: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Ref.6 Ref.7. Tissue specificity: Expressed in the liver and kidney. It is detected in proximal tubules in renal cortex as well as some tubules and glomeruli, with highest expression at the apical side of proximal tubules (at protein level). Ref.1 Ref.7Polymorphism: Genetic variations in SLC17A3 influence the variance in serum uric acid concentrations and define the serum uric acid concentration quantitative trait locus 4 (UAQTL4) [MIM:612671]. Excess serum accumulation of uric acid can lead to the development of gout, a common disorder characterized by tissue deposition of monosodium urate crystals as a consequence of hyperuricemia.Sequence similarities: Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sodium/anion cotransporter family.Sequence caution: The sequence AAB53423.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended.

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-driven transporter that excretes intracellular urate and organic anions from the blood into renal tubule cells. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. The longer isoform is a plasma membrane protein with transporter activity while the shorter isoform localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
