Human Glut1 Alexa Fluor 647 MAb (Clone 202915) 100 TESTS

• Species Reactivity

  Human

• Specificity

  Detects human Glut1. Stains human Glut1-transfected NS0 cells, but not NS0 control transfectants. Although Human Glut1 Antibody detects Glut1 on the surface of T cells (1, 2), it does not detect it on erythrocytes (5). The reason for this discrepancy is not understood, but may be related to conformational or post-translational modification differences.

Background: Glut1

Glut1 belongs to the facilitative glucose transport protein family that comprises 13 members. It is an integral membrane protein with 12 transmembrane domains and is expressed at variable levels in many tissues including brain endothelial cells, CD8⁺ T cells, and erythrocytes (1‑4). Glut1 is a major glucose transporter that mediates glucose transport across the mammalian blood‑brain barrier.
