SLC39A2 (solute carrier family 39 member 2), also known as Zinc transporter ZIP2, is a 8-pass transmembrane protein belonging to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family. Zinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A2 may function as a zinc transporter to mediate zinc uptake. Zinc uptake may be mediated by a Zn2+-HCO3- symport mechanism and can function in the presence of albumin. SLC39A2 may also transport other divalent cations. SLC39A2 is important in contact inhibition of normal epithelial cells and loss of its expression plays a role in tumorigenesis. Mutations in the SLC39A2 gene may be associated with susceptibility to carotid artery disease.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: SLC39A2; 6A1; ZIP2; ETI-1; ZIP-2; hZIP2

 

NCBI Gene ID: 29986

 

Uniprot Entry: Q9NP94

 

Construct Details: Full length human SLC39A2 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 930(bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
