Background: Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 8, also known as SLC2A8, is the eighth member of glucose transporter superfamily. It is characterized by the presence of two leucine residues in its N-terminal intracellular domain, which influences intracellular trafficking. This gene is mapped to 9q33.3. Based on sequence comparison, the glucose transporters are grouped into three classes and this gene is a member of class II. It may act as the insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. This gene binds cytochalasin B in a glucose-inhibitable manner. The binds seems to be a dual-specific sugar transporter as it is inhibitable by fructose.

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of mouse Glucose Transporter 8, different from the related rat sequence by one amino acid, and from the related human sequence by two amino acids.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains antibody formulated with stabilizing components, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation. Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used. For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
