The NaPi-4 n/a (Catalog #MBS615011) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. MyBioSource\'s NaPi-4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NaPi-4 n/a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.The NaPi-4 n/a product has the following accession number(s) (GI #425469) (NCBI Accession #AAA30978.1). Researchers may be interested in using Bioinformatics databases such as those available at The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website for more information about accession numbers and the proteins they represent. Even researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics databases will find the NCBI databases to be quite user friendly and useful.

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels are hormonally regulated that affects the physiological activity of bone, kidney, and small intestine. Majority of the Pi is absorbed in the small intestine and reabsorbed in the proximal tubules in the kidney. At least 4 groups of structurally and funcationally related proteins are in involved in Pi transport: Type I-related NaPi transporters designated NPT1, Npt1, and NaPi-1 respectively in humans, mouse, and rabbit are expressed in the kidney and liver. Its expression and activity are not regulated by Pi deprivation or parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its role in Pi-homeostasis is not clear. Type IIa-related cotransporters, designated NaPi-2 in rat, NaPi-3 or NPT2 in humans, NaPi-4 in opposum, NaPi-5 in flounder vessel, NaPi-6 or Npt-2 in mouse, and NaPi-7 in rabbit, is the primary target for Pi regulation by dietary, hormonal, and tubular Pi reabsorption. Deletion of Npt2 gene produces severe Pi wasting. Type II transporters are expressed in kidney, brain, lung, bone and small intestine. Type IIb, designated as NaPi-IIB or NaPi-2b in rat/mouse, and NaPi-3b in human, is closely related isoform of the NaPi-2 family. It is expressed in small intestine and lung. Type III NaPi transporters, originally described as a family of cell surface receptors for gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV) and murine amphotropic retrovirus (A-MuLv), share very low (<20%) sequence homology with Type I and II proteins, and are found in most tissues. Human homolog are now desganted as PiT1 (also known as GALV receptors or GLVR1) and PiT2 (A-MuLV receptors or GLVR2 or Ram1). Pit1 and Pit2 are ~62% related and predicted to contain 10 TM domains that is in contrast with Type 1/2 transporters (6-8 TM). The N and C-termini are predicted to be cytoplasmic.
Immunogen: 20aa synthetic peptide within the cytoplasmic, C-terminus region of Opossum NaPi-4/NPT2a (KLH). In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing NaPi-4 are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as NaPi-4 may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results.
