Rabbit anti-Human SLCO1C1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NYB5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SLCO1C1

Target Full Name

Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1C1

Target Function

Mediates the Na(+)-independent high affinity transport of organic anions such as the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and rT3. Other potential substrates, such as triiodothyronine (T3), 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol, estrone-3-sulfate and sulfobromophthalein (BSP) are transported with much lower efficiency. May play a significant role in regulating T4 flux into and out of the brain.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Organo anion transporter (TC 2.A.60) family

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in brain and in Leydig cells in testis. Detected in many brain regions with the exception of pons and cerebellum. Not strongly enriched in cerebral microvessels.

Target Synonyms

OAT-RP-5; OATP-14; OATP-F; OATP1; OATP1C1; OATPRP5; Organic anion transporter F; Organic anion transporter polypeptide-related protein 5; organic anion transporting polypeptide 14; Organic anion-transporting polypeptide 14; SLC21A14; Slco1c1; SO1C1_HUMAN; solute carrier family 21 (organic anion transporter), member 14; Solute carrier family 21 member 14; Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1C1; solute carrier organic anion transporter family, member 1C1; Thyroxine transporter

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the organic anion transporter family. The encoded protein is a transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of thyroid hormones in brain tissues. This protein has particularly high affinity for the thyroid hormones thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine and reverse tri-iodothyronine. Polymorphisms in the gene encoding this protein may be associated with fatigue and depression in patients suffering from hyperthyroidism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
