| Description |
Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is a multi-pass membrane protein. It is a member of the family of glucose transporters that facilitate glucose uptake by cells. GLUT1 is a major transporter at the mammalian blood-brain barrier. |

| Unit size |
100 ug |
| Antigen |
A synthetic peptide (FYNQTWVHRYGESI) corresponding to a region (43-56) from the N-terminus of human Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). |
| Other Names |
SLC2A1; GLUT-1; |
| Accession |
P11166 GTR1_HUMAN |
| Produced in |
Rabbit |
| Purity |
Affinity purified on antigen column |
| Applications |
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0-2.0 ug/mL is recommended for WB. Human GLUT1 has a predicted length of 492 residues and MW of 55 kDa. A concentration of 1.0-2.0 ug/mL is recommended to detect GLUT1 in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Antigen retrieval is required. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity |
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. |
| Cross-reactivity |
Human; mouse; rat; |
| Blast it |
If you wish to use this product in a species other than those specified here and want to determine the amino acid sequence homology between the immunogen and the corresponding protein in that species, simply copy the amino acid sequence for this immunogen and test it on the BLAST database that you can access through the link below. Please note that antibodies raised against synthetic peptides are quite often very specific for that peptide. What this means in practise is that a single amino acid difference may be enough to restrict the specificity to a particular molecule.
The BLAST database can also be used to compare any amino acid sequence between species and between protein. The full amino acid sequence of the target protein can be found by following the link in the Accession field. You can then search any amino acid sequence in the target protein using the BLAST database. When selecting a sequence to search, please chose carefully, as the sequence you chose may be a precursor rather than the mature protein for example. |
