GLUT1 antibody detects glucose transporter type 1, encoded by the SLC2A1 gene. GLUT1 is a facilitative glucose transporter expressed in many tissues and is especially important in barrier sites such as the blood-brain barrier and erythrocyte membranes. By mediating basal glucose uptake, GLUT1 supports cellular energy supply, metabolic regulation, and tissue homeostasis. Its wide expression and critical functions have made GLUT1 a target in metabolism research, cancer biology, and neurology.
Structurally, GLUT1 is a transmembrane protein with 12 predicted membrane-spanning helices that form a pore for glucose passage. The transporter undergoes conformational changes between inward- and outward-facing states to shuttle glucose across membranes. GLUT1 exhibits high affinity for glucose and can also transport other hexoses. Its regulation is influenced by cellular energy status and signaling pathways such as PI3K-AKT and AMPK, which adjust glucose availability according to metabolic demand.
The GLUT1 antibody clone GLUT1/2475 provides reproducible and specific recognition of this transporter. Clone GLUT1/2475 has been cited in peer-reviewed studies examining glucose metabolism in cancer, hypoxia responses in brain tissues, and erythrocyte membrane biology. Its consistent performance makes it an essential tool for both laboratory research and translational studies.
Research using clone GLUT1/2475 has clarified how cancer cells upregulate GLUT1 to meet increased metabolic needs, supporting the concept of metabolic reprogramming. In diagnostic pathology, GLUT1 expression helps identify tumors with altered glucose uptake, including carcinomas, gliomas, and hemangioblastomas. In neurology, GLUT1 deficiency syndrome results from mutations in SLC2A1, causing seizures and developmental delay, and antibodies like clone GLUT1/2475 support investigations into this disorder.
NSJ Bioreagents supplies this GLUT1 antibody to support studies of metabolism, oncology, and neurological disease. Alternate names include SLC2A1 antibody, solute carrier family 2 member 1 antibody, blood-brain barrier glucose transporter antibody, erythrocyte glucose transporter antibody, and facilitated glucose transporter 1 antibody.
Optimal dilution of the GLUT1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 203-305 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this GLUT1 antibody.
Store the GLUT1 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
