Anti-SLC2A1 antibody produced in rabbit

Anti-SLC2A1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry.

The SLC2A1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1) gene, also referred to as GLUT1, encodes protein that is mainly involved in the transport of D-glucose across the blood-brain barrier. Mutation in this gene causes Glut-1 deficiency syndrome, which is characterized by reduced cerebrospinal fluid glucose concentrations (hypoglycorrhachia) and reduced erythrocyte glucose transporter activities in the patients along with infantile seizures, acquired microcephaly and developmental delay. It has been found to be critical in the development of the blood-brain barrier. Mutation in this gene has also been associated with paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia and epilepsy.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The SLC2A1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1) gene is 35kb in length and is mapped to human chromosome 1p35 → p31.3. The gene contains 10 exons and nine introns. Its mRNA is found to be expressed in several tissues. It is highly expressed in cerebral endothelial cells and the encoded protein has 12 transmembrane domains.
