SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human; mouse; rat;
Species ReactivityHuman, Mouse, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (FYNQTWVHRYGESI) corresponding to a region (43-56) from the N-terminus of human Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1).
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/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 µg/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.
