Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala380 of human UT-B/SLC14A1 protein.

Background

Urea transporter B (UT-B, also known as UT1) is encoded by the SLC14A1 gene (1). Urea transporters (UTs) are multipass membrane proteins that transport urea down a concentration gradient. Urea is an organic compound composed of two amino groups and a linked carbamoyl group. Urea is a metabolic waste product of the liver and is excreted via the kidney. UT-B/SLC14A1 was first cloned from human erythrocytes (2). UT-B is not only expressed in endothelial cells of the renal medulla but is also expressed in other organs, including the brain, heart, and pancreas, suggesting broad physiological functions. In the brain, UT-B may be expressed in astrocytes to maintain urea concentrations in the central nervous system. Animals lacking UT-B exhibit depression-like behaviors, suggesting that regulation of urea levels in the brain may be important for proper neuronal function (3).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
