This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein that functions to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Its activity is driven by the H+ electrochemical gradient of the lysosomal membrane. Mutations in this gene cause cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:
ELISA: 1:1-1:1000
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1.25ug/ml. Validated for use on a panel of 21 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissues after heat induced antigen retrieval in pH 6.0 citrate buffer. After incubation with C9070-50, slides were incubated with biotinylated Gt xRb IgG secondary antibody, followed by alkaline phosphatase-streptavidin and chromogen.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
