Anti-GLUT3 / SLC2A3, clone ABHB-19

Antibody in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol and 0.4-0.5mg/ml BSA. Glucose transporter 3 (or GLUT3), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 3 (SLC2A3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A3 gene. GLUT3 facilitates the transport of glucose across the plasma membranes of mammalian cells. GLUT3 is most known for its specific expression in neurons and has originally been designated as the neuronal GLUT. GLUT3 has been studied in other cell types with specific glucose requirements, including sperm, preimplantation embryos, circulating white blood cells and carcinoma cell lines. [Wiki] Protein function: Facilitative glucose transporter (PubMed:26176916, PubMed:32860739, PubMed:9477959). Can also mediate the uptake of various other monosaccharides across the cell membrane (PubMed:26176916, PubMed:9477959). Mediates the uptake of glucose, 2- deoxyglucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and fucose, and probably also dehydroascorbate (PubMed:26176916, PubMed:9477959). Does not mediate fructose transport (PubMed:26176916, PubMed:9477959). Required for mesendoderm differentiation. [The UniProt Consortium]
