Anti-SC6A6 Antibody

A polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com raised in rabbit against the human taurine transporter encoded by SC6A6 (SLC6A6), this unconjugated 100 µl antibody enables detection of the sodium- and chloride-dependent carrier that loads the β-amino acid taurine into cells. The antibody supports western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows on human tissue, two routine readouts used to map taurine transporter distribution in kidney, retina, and neural preparations where high intracellular taurine pools support osmoregulation and oxidative stress buffering.

Affinity-purified from rabbit host serum, this polyclonal reagent performs against denatured targets on PVDF or nitrocellulose membranes in WB workflows and against formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections in IHC. The unconjugated format gives full flexibility to attach a reporter of choice, including HRP, biotin, or fluorophore conjugates, depending on downstream detection chemistry.

Reactivity is specific to human SC6A6, making the antibody appropriate for studies of taurine handling in human cell lines and primary tissue, including investigations into retinal cell survival, cardiac stress responses, and renal osmoregulation. Antibodies.com supplies each vial with full documentation of the immunogen, host, clonality, and recommended dilution ranges so that laboratories can adapt conditions to their own samples. Storage at -20 °C working aliquots preserves reagent activity through repeated freeze-thaw cycles when handled as recommended for polyclonal sera.
