Background	SLC2A2 (Solute Carrier Family 2), also known as Glucose Transporter GLUT2, is an integral plasma membrane glycoprotein found in the liver, islet beta cells, intestine, and kidney epithelium. This isoform of the glucose transporter mediates the two way transfer of glucose across the plasma membrane and is responsible for the uptake of glucose in beta cells. Mutations in SLC2A2 lead to Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS), which results in hepatorenal glycogen accumulation, proximal renal tubular dysfunction, and impaired utilization of glucose and galactose. Recent studies have shown that mutations in SLC2A2 can cause neonatal diabetes, and therefore may contribute to human insulin secretion (PMID: 22660720). Novel SLC2A2 mutations have also been discovered and are being investigated to determine their roles in FBS as well (PMID: 22145468).
Synonyms	GLUT2
Note	This Glucose Transporter GLUT2 antibody is useful for Western blot, Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry on paraffin embedded sections. In Western blot a band was observed ~ 55 kDa. In ICC/IF membrane staining was observed in HepG2 cells. Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended.
