Control Peptide for O3003-31 (antiserum) and O3003-32 (affinity purified) Synthetic peptide, 18-aa, Human OAT4 (1). Mammalian kidney and liver are critical in maintaining physiological ionic environment. Kidney specializes in removing toxins, drugs, and other organic anions from the blood by a process called renal secretion. Besides kidney, anionic substrates are also transported in other organs, e.g., choroid plexus, eye, airway, and placenta. Several multispecific OATs (OAT1-3, OAT-K1 and OATK2) and OATPs (organic anion transporting polypeptides, oatp1-3), have been cloned and characterized from various tissues. OATPs family of proteins are very similar in sequence and secondary protein structure (up to 12 transmembrane domains with cytoplasmic N and C-terminus). Most recently, a novel member of the OAT family, OAT4, has been cloned and characterized. OAT4 (human 550 aa) is ~38-44% identical to other OATs. It is prominently expressed in the kidney and placenta. OAT4 interacted with chemically heterogeneous anionic compounds (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, diuretics, sulfobromopthalein, penicillin G, and bile acid salts). OAT4 may help in eliminating harmful anionic substances and protect the fetus. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Antibody Blocking. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1ug/ml Antibody Blocking: 5-10ug/1ul O30003-31 or 1ug O3003-32 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
