Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Purification
This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This STRA6 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 586-614 AA from the C-terminal region of human STRA6.

Buffer
PBS with 0.09 % (W/V) sodium azide
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 °C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 °C in small aliquots.
Function May act as a high-affinity cell-surface receptor for the complex retinol-retinol binding protein (RBP/RBP4). Acts by removing retinol from RBP/RBP4 and transports it across the plasma membrane, where it can be metabolized. This mechanism does not depend on endocytosis. Binds to RBP/RBP4 with high affinity. Increases cellular retinol uptake from the retinol-RBP complex (By similarity).
Cellular Location Cell membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein (Potential)
Tissue Location Broad expression. In adult eye expressed in sclera, retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and trabecular meshwork but not in choroid and iris
Synonyms: Stimulated by retinoic acid gene 6 protein homolog, UNQ3126/PRO10282/PRO19578, PP14296, STRA6
