General description

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) is encoded by the SLC2A1 (also known as GLUT1) gene (Gene ID: 6513) in human. Glucose transporters are a family of integral membrane proteins that facilitative glucose uptake by cells. Seven different glucose transport proteins have been described that are designated as GLUT-1 to 7. GLUT-1 is a highly conserved; ubiquitously distributed, multi-pass membrane protein that is responsible for constitutive glucose uptake. It displays very broad substrate specificity and can transport a wide range of aldoses including both pentoses and hexoses. It is the predominant glucose transporter in embryonic and fetal tissues. In many organs, GLUT-1 is concentrated in endothelial cells of blood-tissue barriers. Hence, it has a specialized role to shuttle glucose between blood and organs that have limited access to small solutes via passive diffusion. It is also abundant in the mammalian erythrocyte membrane where it can rapidly equilibrate glucose between the cytoplasm of the erythrocyte and the blood plasma. GLUT-1 levels are reported to be frequently upregulated during tumorigenesis. Mutations in SLC2A1 gene are linked to GLUT-1 deficiency syndrome 1 and 2 that are characterized by infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy, delayed development, microcephaly, and motor incoordination, and paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia.

Specificity

This rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically detects Glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT-1). It targets an epitope within 12 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Immunogen

Epitope: C-Terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminal of Human Glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1).

Application
