Target

  • Function

    Required for the function of light chain amino-acid transporters. Involved in sodium-independent, high-affinity transport of large neutral amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, arginine and tryptophan. Involved in guiding and targeting of LAT1 and LAT2 to the plasma membrane. When associated with SLC7A6 or SLC7A7 acts as an arginine/glutamine exchanger, following an antiport mechanism for amino acid transport, influencing arginine release in exchange for extracellular amino acids. Plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via transport of L-arginine. Required for normal and neoplastic cell growth. When associated with SLC7A5/LAT1, is also involved in the transport of L-DOPA across the blood-brain barrier, and that of thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) across the cell membrane in tissues such as placenta. Involved in the uptake of methylmercury (MeHg) when administered as the L-cysteine or D,L-homocysteine complexes, and hence plays a role in metal ion homeostasis and toxicity. When associated with SLC7A5 or SLC7A8, involved in the cellular activity of small molecular weight nitrosothiols, via the stereoselective transport of L-nitrosocysteine (L-CNSO) across the transmembrane. Together with ICAM1, regulates the transport activity LAT2 in polarized intestinal cells, by generating and delivering intracellular signals. When associated with SLC7A5, plays an important role in transporting L-leucine from the circulating blood to the retina across the inner blood-retinal barrier.

  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed ubiquitously in all tissues tested with highest levels detected in kidney, placenta and testis and weakest level in thymus. During gestation, expression in the placenta was significantly stronger at full-term than at the mid-trimester stage. Expressed in HUVECS and at low levels in resting peripheral blood T-lymphocytes and quiescent fibroblasts. Also expressed in fetal liver and in the astrocytic process of primary astrocytic gliomas. Expressed in retinal endothelial cells and in the intestinal epithelial cell line C2BBe1.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the SLC3A transporter family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylation on Ser-406; Ser-408 or Ser-410 and on Ser-527 or Ser-531 by ecto-protein kinases favors heterotypic cell-cell interactions.

  • Cellular localization

    Apical cell membrane. Melanosome. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. Localized to the plasma membrane when associated with SLC7A5 or SLC7A8. Localized to the placental apical membrane. Located selectively at cell-cell adhesion sites (By similarity). Colocalized with SLC7A8/LAT2 at the basolateral membrane of kidney proximal tubules and small intestine epithelia. Expressed in both luminal and abluminal membranes of brain capillary endothelial cells (By similarity).

    Question

    Inquiry: The CD98 protein is a heterodimer, composed of a heavy chain and a light chain linked by disulfide bonds. We're looking for an antibody staining ONLY the HEAVY CHAIN of CD98 (also named CD98hc, 4F2hc or SLC3A2) by immunofluorescence. The antibody clone MEM-108 is described as recognizing CD98, but it is not clear whether it would stains one or the other (or both) of the chains. The western-blot shown in the datasheet does not give a clear answer because the high molecular weigth signal suggests that the western-blot was done on a native gel (the expected size of the heterodimer is 125kDa whereas the heavy chain is approx. 80kDa and the light-chain 40kDa). Even if the heavy chain is highly glycosylated, we should expect a smaller band than what is shown on the figure... Do you have more info about the specificity of this antibody or about how this western-blot was performed ? Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Question

    Dear Abcam, We had previously gotten a non-conjugated 4F2 anti-CD98 antibody from you. I see that you still have the 2 conjugated forms up the antibody on the website but not the unconjugated form. Is it still possible to get the unconjugated from you? Thanks,

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us with your question. We previously carried the non-conjugated CD98 antibody from the clone 4F2 as ab33232. The clone number for this antibody was changed by the production lab, and we now carry this antibody as ab23495 with the clone name "44D7". I can assure you that ab23495 is the same antibody as ab33232, and the clones 44D7 and 4F2 are the same clones. I hope that this information is helpful, but please let me know if you have any questions about this. I apologize for any confusion about the clone names.
