Anti-GPR172B Antibody

Western blot analysis of GPR172B expression in mouse muscle (A), rat kidney (B) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 46 kD; Observed band size: 46 kD)
Immunofluorescent analysis of GPR172B staining in HEK293T cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight 594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Protein Information
Name	SLC52A1 (HGNC:30225)
Synonyms	GPR172B, PAR2, RFT1
Function	Plasma membrane transporter mediating the uptake by cells of the water soluble vitamin B2/riboflavin that plays a key role in biochemical oxidation-reduction reactions of the carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism (PubMed:18632736, PubMed:20463145). Humans are unable to synthesize vitamin B2/riboflavin and must obtain it via intestinal absorption (PubMed:20463145).
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue Location	Widely expressed. Highly expressed in the testis, placenta and small intestine. Expressed at lower level in other tissues.
