• Target description: Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (UniProt: P31639; also known as Na(+)/glucose cotransporter 2, Low affinity sodium-glucose cotransporter, Solute carrier family 5 member 2, SLC5A2) is encoded by the SLC5A2 (also known as SGLT2) gene (Gene ID: 6524) in human. Glucose absorption from the diet and the glomerular filtrate are critical in maintenance of blood glucose levels. Sodium-glucose co-transporters play a key role in maintaining this homeostasis. This family of co-transporters (SLC5 family), which includes the high-affinity Na+-glucose transporter SGLT1 (SLC5A1) and low-affinity isoform SGLT2 (SLC5A2) are important mediators of epithelial glucose transport. While SGLT1 accounts for most of the dietary glucose uptake in the intestine, SGLT2 is responsible for the majority (~ 97%) of glucose reuptake in the tubular system of the kidney, with SGLT1 reabsorbing the remainder of the filtered glucose (~ 3%). SGLT2 is expressed in the early proximal tubule while SGLT1 is expressed in the later parts of the proximal tubule. In renal tissue, glucose reabsorption is dependent on active basolateral Na+ removal by the Na+/K+- ATPase to generate the electrochemical driving force for apical glucose entry via Na+-driven sodium glucose cotransport. On the basolateral side, glucose exits the cells following its concentration gradient to re-enter the bloodstream. SLC5A2 is a multi-pass membrane protein with six cytoplasmic domains, eleven transmembrane domains, and five extracellular domains. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
