CAT-1 Antibody (2B9) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects CAT-1 in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CAT-1, also known as high-affinity cationic amino acid transporter-1, plays a crucial role in the transport of cationic amino acids across cell membranes, which is vital for various physiological processes, including protein synthesis and cellular signaling. The proper functioning of CAT-1 is particularly important in non-hepatic tissues, where CAT-1 facilitates the uptake of essential amino acids necessary for cell growth and metabolism. Additionally, CAT-1 has been implicated as a potential receptor for ecotropic retroviruses, highlighting CAT-1′s significance in both normal physiology and viral pathogenesis. The gene encoding CAT-1, SLC7A1, is located on chromosome 13q12-q14, and SLC7A1 expression is tightly regulated, reflecting CAT-1′s importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. With CAT-1 Antibody (2B9)′s ability to provide insights into both amino acid transport and viral interactions, anti-CAT-1 antibody (2B9) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying these critical biological processes.
