The SLC52A1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC02991) is a valuable tool for researchers studying SLC52A1, a cell surface transporter involved in the uptake of essential nutrients such as riboflavin (Vitamin B2). This antibody, raised in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the SLC52A1 protein, the antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in various cell types, making it ideal for studies in biochemistry, nutrition, and metabolic diseases.
SLC52A1, also known as riboflavin transporter 1, plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular riboflavin levels, which are essential for numerous metabolic processes including energy production and antioxidant defense. Dysregulation of SLC52A1 has been implicated in conditions like riboflavin deficiency, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Research into the function and regulation of SLC52A1 is vital for developing interventions to treat these conditions and improve overall health outcomes.

UniProt Protein Function:
GPR172B: Riboflavin transporter. Riboflavin transport is Na(+)- independent but moderately pH-sensitive. Activity is strongly inhibited by riboflavin analogs, such as lumiflavin. Weakly inhibited by flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). In case of infection by retroviruses, acts as a cell receptor to retroviral envelopes similar to the porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV-A). Haploinsufficiency in SLC52A1 can cause maternal riboflavin deficiency. In the newborn infant, this can lead to a transient riboflavin-responsive disorder with clinical and biochemical features of multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Belongs to the riboflavin transporter family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integralChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17p13.2Cellular Component: integral to plasma membraneMolecular Function: riboflavin transporter activity; viral receptor activityBiological Process: entry of virus into host cell; riboflavin transportDisease: Riboflavin Deficiency

NCBI Summary:
Biological redox reactions require electron donors and acceptor. Vitamin B2 is the source for the flavin in flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) which are common redox reagents. This gene encodes a member of the riboflavin (vitamin B2) transporter family. Haploinsufficiency of this protein can cause maternal riboflavin deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
