• Target description: Sodium/bile acid cotransporter (UniProt: Q14973; also known as Cell growth-inhibiting gene 29 protein, Na(+)/bile acid cotransporter, Na(+)/taurocholate transport protein, Sodium/taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide, Solute carrier family 10 member 1) is encoded by the SLC10A1 (also known as NTCP, GIG29) gene (Gene ID: 6554) in human. SLC10A1 is a multi-pass membrane glycoprotein with eight transmembrane domains. It is expressed exclusively on the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and serves as a major high-affinity Na+-dependent transporter of conjugated bile salts from plasma into hepatocytes. It plays a key role in the enterohepatic circulation of bile salts necessary for the solubilization and absorption of dietary fat and fat-soluble vitamins. About 75% of the conjugated bile acids and about 50% of unconjugated bile acids are imported via this transporter. The inward Na+ gradient necessary for this process is maintained by a Na+/K+ ATP pump. This process is shown to be extremely efficient, with 75% to 90% first-pass clearance of bile acids from the sinusoidal blood. SLC10A1 exhibits broad substrate specificity and transports various non-bile acid organic compounds as well. Mutations in SLC10A1 gene are reported to cause familial hypercholanemia 2 (FHCA2) that is characterized by persistently higher plasma levels of conjugated bile salts that is apparent from infancy associated with fat malabsorption and impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. This ZooMAbZooMAb® 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, 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.
