Background: ABCG8

ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 8 (ABCG8) is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters and a member of the White subfamily.

Transporter genes are involved in the regulation of the amount of dietary cholesterol retained in the body. Specifically, ABCG8 is responsible for the selective transport of dietary cholesterol in/out of the enterocytes and in the selective liver sterol excretion into bile. ABCG8 also cooperates with ABCG5 to limit intestinal absorption and promote biliary excretion of sterols.

ABCG8 is highly expressed in the liver and intestine. Mutated forms of ABCG8 lead to sterol accumulation and can cause atherosclerosis or sitosterolemia, a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperabsorption of sterols and the inability to excrete sterols into bile.

ABCG8 antibodies are useful tools for cholesterol absorbtion/sectretion studies and are fundamental to the understanding of certian liver functions.

FAQs for ABCG8 Antibody - BSA Free

Showing  1 - 1 of 1 FAQ Showing All
  • Q: I have two options for ABCG8 primary antibodies from Novus Biologicals which we can use for fluorescence microscopy. Both of them have not been used/ tested in caco-2 cells (human colon carcinoma cell line) which is our model but for the below: 1) Used for IHC-P in liver, tonsil tissues (species human) NBP1-83388. Used for IHC-P in mouse intestine (species - mouse) NBP1-71706SS Out of the above two which do you and your team think will be more applicable for our purpose.

    A:

    I have spoken to our team and we would recommend using NBP1-83388 and applying for our Innovators Reward Program. Because you are doing ICC staining and we have only tested in tissue. Since it is confirmed to react with human and stain tissue it should probably be a better candidate than testing one which has worked in mouse samples, but not been shown to detect the human form of the protein.
