Application

Anti-SLC22A16 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 2.5µg/ml and for immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tissue sections at a concentration of 4-8µg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SLC22A16 (CT2; OAT6) is an organic zwitterion transporter protein that transports l-carnitine, a component of mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation process. The transporter does not accept OCT/OCTN cationic or OAT anionic substrates. CT2 is specifically expressed in luminal membrane of epididymal epithelium and within the Sertoli cells of the testis. Human CT2 reportedly mediates the uptake of polyamines and the anticancer drug bleomycin-A5.
