Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from the N-terminal region of human SLC2A5. AA range:31-80
Specificity
Glut5 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Glut5 protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a fructose transporter responsible for fructose uptake by the small intestine. The encoded protein also is necessary for the increase in blood pressure due to high dietary fructose consumption. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016],
Function
function:Cytochalasin B-sensitive carrier. Seems to function primarily as a fructose transporter.,induction:By forskolin (in Caco-2 cells).,mass spectrometry: PubMed:11840567,similarity:Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed in small intestine, and at much lower levels in kidney, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.,

Cellular localization
Apical cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell membrane, sarcolemma . Localized on the apical membrane of jejunum villi, but also on lateral plasma membranes of the villi. Transport to the cell membrane is dependent on RAB11A. .
Tissue expression
Detected in skeletal muscle, and in jejunum brush border membrane and basolateral membrane (at protein level) (PubMed:7619085). Expressed in small intestine, and at much lower levels in kidney, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.
