Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1, SLC2A1) belongs to the family of glucose transporters (GLUTs). It is localized to the membrane and is highly expressed in the brain and spinal cord, with a relative high density in the cerebellum. The vascular form of GLUT1 is mainly localized in endothelial cells of blood vessels.
Immunogen
peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GLUT1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse GLUT1.
Application
Anti-GLUT1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GLUT1 is the main glucose transporter in the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which regulates basal glucose levels. Increased expression of GLUT1 is associated with cell growth and in malignant transformation.
Physical form
solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
