Background of SLC6A4/5-HTTLPR/Serotonin transporter

SLC6A4 (Solute carrier family 6, member 4), also known as SERT (serotonin transporter), is a monoamine transporter protein. The SLC6A4 gene spans 31 kb and contains 14 exons. This protein integral membrane protein transports the neurotransmitter serotonin from synaptic spaces into presynaptic neurons. This transport of serotonin by the SERT protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner. This protein is the target of many antidepressant medications, including those of the SSRI class. It is a member of the sodium: neurotransmitter symporter family. A repeat length polymorphism in the promoter of this gene has been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake and may play a role in sudden infant death syndrome, aggressive behavior in Alzheimer disease patients, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression-susceptibility in people experiencing emotional trauma.

Antibody Validation

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of SLC6A4 using anti-SLC6A4 antibody (PB9438).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human HepG whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human Caco-2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human SW620 whole cell lysates,
Lane 4: human COLO-320 whole cell lysates.
Lane 5: human K562 whole cell lysates,
Lane 6: human U2OS whole cell lysates,
Lane 7: human U-87MG whole cell lysates,
Lane 8: rat heart tissue lysates,
Lane 9: mouse heart tissue lysates,
Lane 10: mouse SP20 whole cell lysates.
After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-SLC6A4 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9438) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for SLC6A4 at approximately 90KD. The expected band size for SLC6A4 is at 70KD.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of SLC6A4 using anti-SLC6A4 antibody (PB9438). SLC6A4 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of rat brain tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-SLC6A4 Antibody (PB9438) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.
