Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against human xCT. Blast analysis of the sequence of the immunogen shows 100% identity with human and orangutan, and 88% identity to mouse.

Target Information

SLC7A11 (also known as XCT) is a member of a hetromeric, sodium-independent, anionic amino acid transport system. It is highly specific for cysteine and glutamate. SLC7A11 is a mediator of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus fusion and entry into cells. Increased expression of this protein in primary gliomas is associated with neuronal cell death.
