Glucose is fundamental to the metabolism of mammalian cells. Several glucose transporter protein (Glut) isoforms have been identified and shown to function in response to insulin and IGF-1 induced signaling. GLUT-3 is detectable in normal cell type of: spermatids in testis with active spermatogenesis, placental trophoblast membranes, and neurons in brain. GLUT-3 staining is detected in human cancers of the ovary, lung, and testis.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 0.5ug/ml for 2h
