Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from n-terminal region of human Zinc transporter 8 (SLC30A8, ZNT8) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
ZnT-8, Solute carrier family 30 member 8, SLC30A8, ZNT8
Target
FUNCTION: Facilitates the accumulation of zinc from the cytoplasm into intracellular vesicles, being a zinc-efflux transporter. May be a major component for providing zinc to insulin maturation and/or storage processes in insulin-secreting pancreatic beta-cells.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle ⺠secretory vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Probable. Note: Associated with insulin and glucagon secretory granules
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In the endocrine pancreas, expressed in insulin-producing beta cells. Expressed at relatively high levels in subcutaneous fat tissue from lean persons; much lower levels in visceral fat, whether from lean or obese individuals, and in subcutaneous fat tissue from obese individuals. Expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, including T-cells and B-cells, with great variation among individuals ranging from negative to strongly positive.
Storage
Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Expiry Date
12 months after reconstitution
