Application

Anti-SLC30A1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag solute carrier family 30, member 1 for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of solute carrier family 30, member 1 in divalent cation (Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ca²⁺) homeostasis, especially in conjunction with L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SLC30A1 may be involved in zinc transport out of the cell.

General description

Solute carrier family 30, member 1 (SLC30A1, ZNT1, ZRC1) is a zinc transporter involved in regulating zinc and other divalent cation flux. SLC30A1/ ZNT1 is frequently coexpressed with L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel (LTCC), a major route for zinc influx. SLC30A1/ ZNT1 is believed to regulate cellular ion (calcium, cadmium, zinc) homeostasis, at least in part, by modulating/inhibiting L-type calcium channels.
