Description:
Anti-Serotonin Transporter
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Specificity:
Serotonin Transporter (SERT). An antibody raised against a similar peptide has been shown to react with a SERT in baculovirus cells expressing recombinant rat and human SERT. Antibody activity may be reduced considerably when detecting endogenous SERT from rat or human cells. SERT has been observed to migrate as 94 kDa (rat platelet), 80 kDa (pulmonary membranes) and 76 kDa (rat brain). This could be due to differences in postranslational membrane modifications (e.g. glycosylation).
Immunogen:
A 15 amino acid sequence between transmembrane domain 7 and 8 of the rat serotonin transporter. This region is presumably from the extracellular domain.
Species Reactivity:
- Human
- Rat
Application Notes:
Western blot: 1-10 μg/mL
Cell pellets are resuspended in 100 μL lysis buffer (25 mM Tris, pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 1 μg/mL aprotonin, 10 μg/mL leupeptin, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM EDTA, and 1% Triton X-100). Samples were incubated for 1 hour at 4°C and were pelleted at high speed for 10 minutes at 4°C, and 100 μg protein per sample was subjected to 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
ELISA: 1:100,000 primary EIA using immunogen only (50-100 ng SERT peptide (Catalog Number AG297)/well). Not tested on purified protein at the stated dilutions.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Entrez Gene Summary:
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that transports the neurotransmitter serotonin from synaptic spaces into presynaptic neurons. The encoded protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner. This protein is a target of psychomotor stimulants, such as amphetamines and cocaine, and is a member of the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter family. A repeat length polymorphism in the promoter of this gene has been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake and may play a role in sudden infant death syndrome, aggressive behavior in Alzheimer disease patients, and depression-susceptibility in people experiencing emotional trauma.
Key Applications:
- ELISA
- Western Blotting
