SLC2A5 Antibody Rat Brain and K562 WB. Western blot analysis of SLC2A5 expression using an SLC2A5 antibody. Lane 1: rat brain lysate. Lane 2: human K562 cell lysate. SLC2A5, also known as GLUT5 and Sugar Transport Protein, is a facilitative transporter that preferentially mediates fructose uptake and contributes to cellular energy metabolism. A prominent band is detected at approximately 55 kDa in both samples, consistent with the expected molecular weight of SLC2A5. These results demonstrate endogenous expression of this nutrient transporter in rodent and human tissues and support the utility of SLC2A5 Antibody for studies of fructose transport, carbohydrate metabolism, and metabolic regulation.
SLC2A5 Antibody Intestinal Cancer IHC. Immunohistochemical staining of FFPE human intestinal cancer tissue demonstrates SLC2A5 expression using an SLC2A5 antibody. SLC2A5, also known as GLUT5 and Sugar Transport Protein, is a facilitative transporter that mediates fructose uptake and contributes to cellular energy metabolism. Prominent membranous and cytoplasmic staining is observed in malignant epithelial cells, consistent with the increased nutrient requirements and metabolic reprogramming associated with cancer. Heat induced epitope retrieval was performed by boiling tissue sections in pH 6 10 mM citrate buffer for 20 minutes followed by cooling prior to staining. These results support the utility of SLC2A5 Antibody for studies of fructose transport, cancer metabolism, and nutrient homeostasis.
SLC2A5 Antibody Rat Intestine IHC. Immunohistochemical staining of FFPE rat intestine demonstrates SLC2A5 expression using an SLC2A5 antibody. SLC2A5, also known as GLUT5 and Sugar Transport Protein, is a facilitative transporter that preferentially mediates fructose uptake and plays a central role in intestinal carbohydrate absorption. Predominantly apical and cytoplasmic staining is observed in intestinal epithelial cells, consistent with the localization of GLUT5 in enterocytes responsible for dietary fructose transport. Heat induced epitope retrieval was performed by boiling tissue sections in pH 6 10 mM citrate buffer for 20 minutes followed by cooling prior to staining. These results support the utility of SLC2A5 Antibody for studies of fructose transport, nutrient absorption, and metabolic regulation.

Description

SLC2A5 Antibody / Sugar Transport Protein Antibody recognizes SLC2A5, also known as GLUT5, a member of the facilitative glucose transporter family that functions primarily as a fructose transporter. Unlike other GLUT family members that transport glucose, SLC2A5 exhibits a strong preference for fructose and mediates its uptake across cellular membranes. SLC2A5 is an integral membrane protein containing twelve transmembrane domains and is expressed predominantly in the small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and reproductive organs. Through its ability to regulate fructose absorption and utilization, SLC2A5 contributes to nutrient homeostasis and energy metabolism.

SLC2A5 is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells where it facilitates the absorption of dietary fructose from the lumen. Expression of SLC2A5 is regulated by fructose intake and hormonal signals, allowing tissues to adapt to changing metabolic demands. In addition to its role in nutrient absorption, SLC2A5 contributes to fructose handling in the kidney and supports energy production in metabolically active tissues. Expression in spermatozoa and reproductive tissues suggests additional functions in fertility and cellular metabolism.

Aberrant SLC2A5 expression has been implicated in obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Elevated fructose consumption and increased transporter activity have been associated with lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. SLC2A5 expression has also been reported in colorectal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia, where enhanced fructose uptake may promote metabolic reprogramming and tumor growth. Consequently, SLC2A5 has emerged as a biomarker and potential therapeutic target in both metabolic disease and oncology.

Beyond its role in fructose transport, SLC2A5 participates in broader metabolic adaptation pathways that influence cellular survival and energy balance. Modulation of fructose metabolism affects mitochondrial function, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress pathways. Because nutrient transporters are increasingly recognized as regulators of disease progression and therapeutic responses, SLC2A5 has become an important target in studies of metabolism and cancer biology.

SLC2A5 Antibody / Sugar Transport Protein Antibody is useful for investigations of fructose transport, carbohydrate metabolism, nutrient absorption, metabolic disorders, and cancer metabolism. The ability to detect endogenous SLC2A5 makes this antibody a valuable tool for studies of intestinal physiology, renal function, energy homeostasis, and disease mechanisms.
