Recombinant protein corresponding to aa327-541 of human SLC1A5, expressed in E. coli.
A common cell surface receptor is used for cell entry by the RD114/simian type D retroviruses, which include the feline endogenous retrovirus RD114, all strains of simian immunosuppressive type D retroviruses, the avian reticuloendotheliosis group, including spleen necrosis virus, and baboon endogenous virus. SLC1A5 also serves as a retrovirus receptor, and RDR shows specific transport of neutral amino acids. By radiation hybrid mapping, they localized the receptor to a 500-kb region on chromosome 19q13.3. Infection of cells with RD114/type D retroviruses resulted in an impaired amino acid transport, suggesting a mechanism for virus toxicity and immunosuppression. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 0.5-2ug/ml Immunohistochemistry: 5-20ug/ml Immunocytochemistry: 5-20ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
