SLC34A2 antibody targets Sodium-Dependent Phosphate Transport Protein 2B, a multi-pass transmembrane transporter encoded by the SLC34A2 gene and commonly known as NaPi-IIb or NaPi2b. Sodium-Dependent Phosphate Transport Protein 2B is predominantly localized to the plasma membrane of epithelial cells, where it mediates sodium-coupled uptake of inorganic phosphate. Expression is prominent in absorptive epithelia, including lung alveolar epithelium, intestine, and select glandular tissues, reflecting its role in phosphate homeostasis.
Functionally, Sodium-Dependent Phosphate Transport Protein 2B facilitates transcellular phosphate transport by coupling phosphate influx to the sodium gradient. A short functional summary is that SLC34A2 supports epithelial phosphate absorption and contributes to cellular metabolic balance. Through regulated transport activity, NaPi-IIb influences mineral metabolism and cellular bioenergetics in tissues with high phosphate demand.
At the molecular level, SLC34A2 belongs to the SLC34 family of sodium-phosphate cotransporters and contains multiple transmembrane domains that form the transport pathway. Transport activity is regulated by substrate availability and cellular context. SLC34A2 antibody reagents are therefore valuable for studying membrane localization, transporter expression, and regulation of phosphate handling in epithelial cells.
From a biological and disease relevance perspective, altered SLC34A2 expression has been associated with pulmonary and gastrointestinal disorders and has been extensively studied in cancer biology. NaPi-IIb is frequently evaluated in epithelial-derived tumors, including ovarian and lung cancers, where expression patterns may aid tissue characterization and biomarker research. SLC34A2 is also linked to disorders of phosphate metabolism, underscoring its physiological importance.
Developmentally, SLC34A2 expression is regulated in a tissue-specific manner and increases with epithelial maturation. SLC34A2 antibodies from NSJ Bioreagents are supplied for research use to support investigations in epithelial biology, membrane transport, and translational disease research.
Optimal dilution of the SLC34A2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids QNWTMKNVTYKENIAKCQHIFVNFHLPDLA from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the SLC34A2 antibody.
After reconstitution, the SLC34A2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
