Anti-GLUT-8 Antibody, CT

GLUT-8 is a glucose transporter facilitated by the regulation of insulin, binding cytochalasin B such that the orientation is glucose-inhibitive. In appearance, the transporter seems to be a dual-specific sugar transporter since fructose can also be inhibitive. GLUT-8 is expressed largely in the testis, where down-regulation is facilitated by estrogen. However, GLUT-8 is not highly expressed in testicular carcinoma. Lower levels of GLUT-8 are present in most other tissues.

Recognizes GLUT-8.
