Designing a Western blot for SLC1A2? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the SLC1A2 Western Blot GuideFacts about Excitatory amino acid transporter 2.
Mediates Cl(-) flux that's not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges because of aspartate and Na(+) symport (PubMed:14506254). Essential for the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, and for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate (By similarity).
