Anti-Human SLC7A11 Polyclonal Antibody|抗人SLC7A11多克隆抗体(靶标：人溶质载体家族7成员11/xCT)

Cystine/glutamate transporter (SLC7A11) is a ~55 kDa protein. Heterodimer with SLC3A2, that functions as an antiporter by mediating the exchange of extracellular anionic L-cystine and intracellular L-glutamate across the cellular plasma membrane. Provides L-cystine for the maintenance of the redox balance between extracellular L-cystine and L-cysteine and for the maintenance of the intracellular levels of glutathione that is essential for cells protection from oxidative stress. The transport is sodium-independent, electroneutral with a stoichiometry of 1:1, and is drove by the high intracellular concentration of L-glutamate and the intracellular reduction of L-cystine. Acts as an inhibitor of ferroptosis by mediating the import of L-kynurenine leading to anti-ferroptotic signaling propagation required to maintain L-cystine and glutathione homeostasis. Also inhibits ferroptosis by acting as an atypical proton transporter that mediates a slow proton efflux from lysosomes via cystine and glutamate flux.
