The SLCO1B3 Antibody (PAC048758) is a highly specific tool for researchers studying the SLCO1B3 protein, an important transporter involved in the uptake and elimination of drugs and endogenous compounds. This polyclonal antibody, produced in rabbits, is optimized for detecting SLCO1B3 in human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications.SLCO1B3, also known as organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3, is primarily expressed in the liver and plays a crucial role in drug metabolism and disposition. Its function in transporting a wide range of substrates makes it a key player in drug-drug interactions and personalized medicine approaches.
By targeting SLCO1B3, researchers can gain insights into drug transport mechanisms, pharmacokinetics, and potential therapeutic strategies for liver diseases and cancer.This SLCO1B3 Antibody provides researchers with a reliable tool for investigating the expression and function of SLCO1B3 in various experimental settings, including cell culture models and tissue samples. Its specificity and sensitivity make it an invaluable resource for studies aiming to understand the role of SLCO1B3 in drug transport, liver physiology, and the development of targeted therapies for liver-related disorders.

Background:
Mediates the Na(+)-independent uptake of organic anions such as 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, taurocholate, triiodothyronine (T3), leukotriene C4, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), methotrexate and sulfobromophthalein (BSP). Involved in the clearance of bile acid, and organic anions from the liver.

SLCO1B3: Mediates the Na(+)-independent uptake of organic anions such as 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, taurocholate, triiodothyronine (T3), leukotriene C4, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), methotrexate and sulfobromophthalein (BSP).Involved in the clearance of bile acids and organic anions from the liver. Defects in SLCO1B3 are a cause of hyperbilirubinemia, Rotor type (HBLRR). An autosomal recessive form of primary conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Affected individuals develop mild jaundice not associated with hemolysis shortly after birth or in childhood. They have delayed plasma clearance of the unconjugated anionic dye bromsulphthalein and prominent urinary excretion of coproporphyrin I. Hepatic pigmentation is normal. Belongs to the organo anion transporter (TC 2.A.60) family.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral; Transporter, SLC family; TransporterChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12p12Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; plasma membraneMolecular Function: bile acid transmembrane transporter activity; organic anion transmembrane transporter activity; sodium-independent organic anion transmembrane transporter activityBiological Process: bile acid and bile salt transport; bile acid metabolic process; organic anion transport; sodium-independent organic anion transportDisease: Hyperbilirubinemia, Rotor Type

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a liver-specific member of the organic anion transporter family. The encoded protein is a transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds and plays a critical role in bile acid and bilirubin transport. Mutations in this gene are a cause of Rotor type hyperbilirubinemia. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
