SLC3A2, also known as CD98 heavy chain or 4F2 antigen, serves as a critical component of heterodimeric amino acid transporters that regulate cellular nutrient uptake. This type II transmembrane glycoprotein partners with various light chain subunits to facilitate the transport of large neutral amino acids, playing essential roles in cell proliferation, activation, and metabolic reprogramming. Given its elevated expression in rapidly dividing cells and its involvement in mTOR signaling pathways, SLC3A2 has emerged as a significant target in cancer biology, immunology, and metabolic disease research.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 2B8, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 format and affinity-chromatography purification ensure high purity and reliable performance across experiments.
Validation studies demonstrate robust binding activity against human SLC3A2, with functional ELISA testing revealing an EC50 range of 2.257–3.091 ng/mL when detecting immobilized recombinant human SLC3A2 protein. This high-affinity binding supports sensitive detection at recommended dilutions ranging from 1:5000 to 1:50000 in ELISA applications, providing flexibility to optimize signal-to-background ratios for your specific experimental conditions.
The antibody is supplied in a stabilized liquid format containing 50% glycerol in PBS with Proclin 300 preservative, ready for immediate use without reconstitution. For researchers investigating amino acid transport mechanisms, tumor metabolism, T cell activation, or CD98-associated signaling pathways, this antibody provides a dependable tool for quantitative protein detection studies.
