    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    LAT1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total LAT1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues at the amino terminus of human LAT1 protein. Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), also known as solute carrier family 7 member 5 (SLC7A5), is a high-affinity neutral transporter of larger amino acids. It facilitates cellular amino acid uptake in a sodium-independent manner (1-2) and selectively transports D- and L-isomers of small neutral amino acids (3). LAT1 also regulates amino acid exchange in conjunction with SLC1A5 (2,4-6). Transport of thyroid hormones across the placenta is established via LAT1 during normal fetal development (7). LAT1 promotes neuronal cell proliferation by regulating amino acid transport across the blood-brain barrier (8). LAT1 is upregulated in various cancer types, including breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and gliomas (9,10). High expression of LAT1 is detected in non-small cell lung cancer with lymph node metastases (9,11,12). Increased LAT1 expression is a novel biomarker of high-grade malignancy in prostate cancers (12). Inhibition of LAT1 suppresses tumor cell growth in several tumor types (10,13).
