Sialic acid storage disease (SASD) are autosomal recessive neurdegenerative disorders that may present as a severa infantile form (ISSD) or a slowly progressive adult form (Salla disease) prevalent in Finland.
The patients exccrete large amounts of free sialic acid in urine.
A H+/anionic sugar symporter mechanism for sialinc acid and glucoronic acid is impaired in lysosomal membranes from Sall and ISSD.
A new gene, termed Sialin (SLC17A5; human 495 aa, chromosome 6q14-q15) belonging to the family of anion/cation symporters (ACS) has been found to be mutated in sialic acid storage disease.
Sialin is predicted to contain up to 12 TM domains with N and C-termini located in the cytoplasm.
Sialin has 37%, 34%, and 16% sequence identity with BNPI/VGLUT1, NPT1 (Napi-I), and E.
Sialin is found to be expressed in many human tissues.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blotting.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:.
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000 for antiserum and 1-10ug/ml for affinity pure antibody using Chemiluminescence technique.
Sialin is ~55-60kD protein.
ELISA: 1:10,000-50,000 for neat serum and 0.5-1ug/ml for affinity pure.
Control peptide can be used to coat ELISA plates at 1ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Control peptide, because of its low MW (<3kD), is not suitable for Western.
It is recommeded for ELISA, dot blot, or antibody blocking experiments (use 5-10ug of control peptide per 1ug of affinity purified IgG or 1ul of antiserum) to demonstrate antibody specificity.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%).
Freeze at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
