The SLC6A19 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC020524) is a valuable tool for researchers studying SLC6A19, a protein involved in amino acid transport and absorption in the intestine and kidney. This antibody, produced in rabbits, has high specificity for human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the SLC6A19 protein, researchers can investigate its role in amino acid metabolism and transport processes in various cell types, providing insights into metabolic disorders and renal diseases.SLC6A19 is crucial for the absorption of neutral amino acids in the small intestine and plays a vital role in maintaining amino acid homeostasis in the body.
Dysregulation of SLC6A19 function has been linked to amino acid malabsorption disorders and kidney diseases, highlighting its importance in nutrient uptake and renal function. Research on SLC6A19 with the PAC020524 antibody can shed light on the mechanisms underlying these conditions and aid in the development of therapies targeting amino acid transport pathways.

Background:
This gene encodes a system B(0) transmembrane protein that actively transports most neutral amino acid, across the apical membrane of epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in Hartnup disorder.
Synonyms:
solute carrier family 6 (neutral amino acid, transporter), member 19
UniProt Protein Function:
SLC6A19: Transporter that mediates epithelial resorption of neutral amino acids across the apical membrane of epithelial cells in the kidney and intestine. It appears that leucine is the preferred substrate, but all large neutral non-aromatic L-amino acids bind to this transporter. Uptake of leucine is sodium- dependent. In contrast to other members of the neurotransmitter transporter family, does not appear to be chloride-dependent. Defects in SLC6A19 are a cause of Hartnup disorder (HND). HND is an autosomal recessive abnormality of renal and gastrointestinal neutral amino acid transport noted for its clinical variability. First described in 1956, HND is characterized by increases in the urinary and intestinal excretion of neutral amino acids. Individuals with typical Hartnup aminoaciduria may be asymptomatic, some develop a photosensitive pellagra-like rash, attacks of cerebellar ataxia and other neurological or psychiatric features. Although the definition of HND was originally based on clinical and biochemical abnormalities, its marked clinical heterogeneity has led to it being known as a disorder with a consistent pathognomonic neutral hyperaminoaciduria. Defects in SLC6A19 may be a cause of hyperglycinuria (HG). It is a condition characterized by excess of glycine in the urine. In some cases it is associated with renal colic and renal oxalate stones. SLC6A19 deficiency combined with haploinsufficiency of SLC6A20 or partially inactivating mutations in SLC36A2, can be responsible for hyperglycinuria. Defects in SLC6A19 may be a cause of iminoglycinuria (IG). It is a disorder of renal tubular reabsorption of glycine and imino acids (proline and hydroxyproline), marked by excessive levels of all three substances in the urine. SLC6A19 deficiency combined with haploinsufficiency of SLC6A20 or partially inactivating mutations in SLC36A2, can be responsible for iminoglycinuria. Additional polymorphisms and mutations in SLC6A18 can contribute to the IG phenotype in some families. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family.
