The SLC19A2 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC057968) is a valuable tool for researchers studying SLC19A2, a transporter protein essential for the uptake of essential folate vitamins in humans. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and reactivity with human samples, making it suitable for various research applications such as Western blotting.SLC19A2, also known as the Reduced Folate Carrier 1 (RFC1), is crucial for the cellular uptake of folate, a B vitamin essential for DNA synthesis and cell growth. Mutations in SLC19A2 have been associated with disorders like hereditary folate malabsorption, highlighting the importance of this transporter in maintaining folate homeostasis.
Research on SLC19A2 is vital for understanding folate metabolism and its implications for human health, particularly in the context of folate deficiency-related conditions. The SLC19A2 Polyclonal Antibody enables accurate detection and analysis of SLC19A2 levels in various cell types, providing valuable insights into the role of this transporter in folate uptake and metabolism.

IHC image of PACO57968 diluted at 1:300 and staining in paraffin-embedded human prostate tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.

Background:
High-affinity transporter for the intake of thiamine.
Synonyms:
Thiamine transporter 1 (ThTr-1) (ThTr1) (Solute carrier family 19 member 2) (Thiamine carrier 1) (TC1), SLC19A2, THT1 TRMA
UniProt Protein Function:
SLC19A2: High-affinity transporter for the intake of thiamine. Defects in SLC19A2 are the cause of thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome (TRMA); also known as Rogers syndrome. TRMA is an autosomal recessive disease with features that include megaloblastic anemia, mild thrombocytopenia and leucopenia, sensorineural deafness and diabetes mellitus. Belongs to the reduced folate carrier (RFC) transporter (TC 2.A.48) family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Transporter, SLC family; Transporter; Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-passChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q23.3Cellular Component: integral to membrane; plasma membraneMolecular Function: folic acid transporter activity; protein binding; thiamin transmembrane transporter activity; thiamin uptake transmembrane transporter activityBiological Process: vitamin metabolic process; thiamin and derivative metabolic process; thiamin transport; water-soluble vitamin metabolic process; folic acid transportDisease: Thiamine-responsive Megaloblastic Anemia Syndrome

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes the thiamin transporter protein. Mutations in this gene cause thiamin-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome (TRMA), which is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diabetes mellitus, megaloblastic anemia and sensorineural deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
