Anti-Neutral amino acid transporter (ASCT2) Antibody

Neutral amino acid transporter, also known as ASCT2, is an alternate of the ASC (alanine-, serine-, cysteine-) transport system and is highly expressed in rat astroglia-rich cultures while not highly expressed in rat neuron-rich cultures. ASCT2 is also thought to be important in the glutamine release from cells. ASCT2 has been implicated in the growth and survival of cancer cells, therefore making it a possible target for cancer therapy. ASCT2 is thought to be a crucial neuronal neutral amino acid transporter.
