SLC2A8 Antibodies

AND SLC2A8 ELISA kits, SLC2A8 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect SLC2A8, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with SLC2A8 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop SLC2A8 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to SLC2A8 by testing them on tissues known to express SLC2A8 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the SLC2A8 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 3 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

SLC2A8 Overview

Facts about Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 8.

SLC2A8 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 8 (SLC2A8)

Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. Binds cytochalasin B at a glucose-inhibitable method.

Seems like a dual-specific sugar transporter because it is inhibitable by fructose (By similarity). .

Genomic Context


Human

Location:	9q33.3
Sequence:	9; NC_000009.12 (127397138..127407898)

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in testis, but not in testicular carcinoma. Lower amounts present in most other tissues.

Subcellular Localizations

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Principally intracellular. May move between intracellular vesicles and the plasma membrane. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration.
