Description
Rabbit Anti-Human GLUT-1 polyclonal antibody for WB, ICC, Inhib. Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 1 (UniProt P11166; also known as Glucose transporter type 1 erythrocyte/brain, GLUT-1, HepG2 glucose transporter, Human T-cell leukemia virus I and II receptor, Receptor for HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) is encoded by the SLC2A1 (also known as DYT9, DYT17, DYT18, EIG12, GLUT, GLUT1, HTLVR, GLUT1DS, PED) gene (Gene ID 6513) in human. Glucose transporters (GLUT-1 to GLUT-7) constitute a family of integral membrane glycoproteins that facilitate cellular glucose uptake. In addition to mediating glucose uptake in adult tissues, GLUT-1 is the predominant glucose transporter in embryonic and fetal tissues. Two forms of GLUT-1 are found in human frontal cortex, the 55 kDa form of GLUT-1 regulates import of glucose from blood to brain across the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), whereas the 45 kDa form of GLUT-1 predominantly regulates nonvascular glial glucose uptake.
Immunogen
