Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP14098a was selected from the N-term region of SLC38A5. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | SLC38A5 |

Synonyms | JM24, SN2 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:11243884}, |
Function | Symporter that cotransports neutral amino acids and sodium ions, coupled to an H(+) antiporter activity (PubMed:11243884). Releases L-glutamine and glycine from astroglial cells and may participate in the glutamate/GABA-L-glutamine cycle and the NMDA receptors activation (By similarity). In addition, contributes significantly to L-glutamine uptake in retina, namely in ganglion and Mueller cells therefore, participates in the retinal glutamate- glutamine cycle (By similarity). The transport activity is pH sensitive and Li(+) tolerant (PubMed:11243884). Moreover functions in both direction and is associated with large uncoupled fluxes of protons (By similarity). The transport is electroneutral coupled to the cotransport of 1 Na(+) and the antiport of 1 H(+) (By similarity). May have a particular importance for modulation of net hepatic glutamine flux (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2VCW5}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localized at astroglial membrane. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2VCW5} |
Tissue Location | Predominantly expressed in stomach, brain, liver, lung and intestinal tract. |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a system Nsodium-coupled amino acid transporter involved in the transfer ofglutamine, asparagine, histidine, serine, alanine, and glycine. Theencoded protein does not transport charged amino acids, iminoacids, or N-alkylated amino acids. This transporter is notinhibited by lithium.
