Anti-NTCP Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised against the hepatocyte bile-acid uptake transporter NTCP (Na+/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, encoded by SLC10A1), supplied by Antibodies.com as a primary antibody reagent. The immunogen-derived IgG fraction is unconjugated and reactive with human NTCP, making it suited to investigations of hepatic bile-acid homeostasis, cholestatic liver disease models, and mechanistic studies of hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus entry, for which NTCP is the established docking receptor on the hepatocyte basolateral membrane.

Recommended applications include Western blot detection of endogenous NTCP in hepatocyte lysates and ELISA-based quantification of the transporter in research samples. Each vial contains 100 µl of antibody suitable for multiple immunoblot experiments, with the polyclonal format offering broader epitope coverage than monoclonal alternatives and tolerance to minor variations in sample preparation. The reagent is intended for research use only and supports workflows in cell biology, virology, and hepatic physiology laboratories examining SLC10 family transport function.
