Anti-SLC6A16 Antibody

Raised in rabbit against the SLC6A16 transporter, this polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied as 100 µl of a 1 mg/ml solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.3. SLC6A16, also known as NTT5, belongs to the solute carrier family 6, a group of sodium- and chloride-dependent transporters best characterized for their roles in neurotransmitter uptake. Unlike the well-studied monoamine and GABA transporters in this family, SLC6A16 is classified as an orphan transporter with no definitively assigned substrate, and it is expressed predominantly in central nervous system tissue. The unconjugated antibody is validated for Western blot and shows reactivity with human and rat samples, making it a useful reagent for laboratories investigating orphan transporter biology, neuronal signaling, or comparative studies of SLC6 family members. The product should be stored refrigerated; brief exposure to room temperature is acceptable, but repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to preserve antibody integrity.
