Slc2a2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:500-1:1000 IHC: 4µg/mL ELISA: 1:30,000 - 1:90,000
Reactivity	Mouse
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	This antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal domain of mouse Glut2 protein.
Specificity	Glut-2 antibody is directed against Glut2 protein. The product is delipidated and defibrinated antiserum. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Glut2 from mouse and rat based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Concentration	85 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 2
Database Link	Entrez Gene 20526 Mouse UniProt ID P14246
Background	The Anti-Glut2 antibody was designed, produced, and validated as part of the Joy Cappel Young Investigator Award (JCYIA). The glucose transporter GLUT2 is a transmembrane carrier protein that allows protein facilitated glucose movement across cell membranes. GLUT2 is expressed in the plasma membranes of the liver, intestine, renal tubular cells, pancreatic islet beta cells, as well as in the portal and hypothalamic areas. Due to its low affinity and high capacity, GLUT2 transports dietary sugars, glucose, galactose and fructose in high concentrations, displaying large bidirectional fluxes in and out of cells. In pancreatic beta cells, GLUT2 is essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. GLUT2 expression is necessary for the physiological control of glucose-sensitive genes, and its inactivation in the liver leads to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In the nervous system, GLUT2-dependent glucose sensing regulates feeding, thermoregulation and pancreatic islet cell mass and function, as well as sympathetic and parasympathetic activities. In humans, inactivating mutations in GLUT2 cause Fanconi–Bickel syndrome, which is characterized by hepatomegaly and kidney disease. Anti-Glut2 is ideal for researchers interested in studying glucose transport mediated by Glut2 protein in the fields of diabetes, obesity, metabolism, and neuroscience research.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-Glut2 Antibody, Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 2, Glucose transporter type 2, liver-GLUT-2, Slc2a2, Glut2 Antibody
Note	Glut-2 antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 57.1 kDa in size corresponding to Glut2 protein by western blotting in the appropriate stimulated tissue or cell lysate or extract. This antibody is suitable for immunohistochemistry.
