- Extra Details:
- Most mammalian cells transport glucose through a family of membrane proteins known as glucose transporters. Molecular cloning of these glucose transporters has identified a family of closely related genes that encodes at least 7 proteins (GLUT 1 to GLUT 7, MW 40-60kD) and Sodium glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1, 662aa; ~75kD). Individual members of this family have identical predicted secondary structures with 12 transmembrane domains. Both N- and C-termini are predicted to be cytoplasmic. Most differences in sequence homology exist within the four hydrophilic domains that may play a role in tissue-specific targeting. GLUT isoforms differ in their tissue expression, substrate specificity and kinetic characteristics. GLUT 1 mediates glucose transport into red cells, and throughout the blood brain barrier, and supply glucose to most cells. GLUT 2 provides glucose to the liver and pancreatic cells. GLUT 3 is the main transporter in neurons, whereas GLUT 4 is primarily expressed in muscle and adipose tissue and regulated by insulin. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000 (ECL) ELISA: 1:10,000–1:50,000, using 50–100ng of antigen/well. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
