The SLC11A1 Antibody (PACO55778) is a high-quality polyclonal antibody designed for research involving SLC11A1, a protein involved in iron transport and immune regulation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific and reactive with human samples, making it well-suited for use in various research applications.SLC11A1, also known as solute carrier family 11 member 1 or NRAMP1, plays a crucial role in the regulation of intracellular iron levels and immune responses. It is implicated in infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and inflammation, making it a key target for research in immunology, infectious diseases, and cancer.
The SLC11A1 Antibody enables the detection and analysis of SLC11A1 protein expression in different cell types, providing valuable insights into its function and potential therapeutic implications. Its reliability and specificity make it an essential tool for researchers studying iron metabolism, immune regulation, and related diseases.
Western Blot. Positive WB detected in: Rat heart tissue. All lanes: SLC11A1 antibody at 5µg/ml. Secondary. Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG at 1/50000 dilution. Predicted band size: 60, 48 kDa. Observed band size: 60 kDa.
Immunofluorescence staining of HepG2 cells with PACO55778 at 1:100, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
IHC image of PACO55778 diluted at 1:300 and staining in paraffin-embedded human skeletal muscle tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Background:
Divalent transition metal (iron and manganese) transporter involved in iron metabolism and host resistance to certain pathogens. Macrophage-specific membrane transport function. Controls natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites. Pathogen resistance involves sequestration of Fe(2+) and Mn(2+), cofactors of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic catalases and superoxide dismutases, not only to protect the macrophage against its own generation of reactive oxygen species, but to deny the cations to the pathogen for synthesis of its protective enzymes.
Synonyms:
Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP 1) (Solute carrier family 11 member 1), SLC11A1, LSH NRAMP NRAMP1

NCBI Summary:
This gene is a member of the solute carrier family 11 (proton-coupled divalent metal ion transporters) family and encodes a multi-pass membrane protein. The protein functions as a divalent transition metal (iron and manganese) transporter involved in iron metabolism and host resistance to certain pathogens. Mutations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and leprosy, and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn disease. Alternatively spliced variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described but the full-length nature of only one has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
