General description

A cytochalasin B-sensitive carrier located in the membrane, GLUT-5 appears to be primarily functional as a fructose transporter. It is expressed in the small intestine, and is also found in the skeletal muscle, kidney and adipose tissue but at significantly reduced levels.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of rat GLUT-5 (aa 490-502) coupled to KLH. The immunogen sequence used is only 53% conserved in mouse.

Epitope: C-terminus

Linkage

Replaces: AB1348

Physical form

Liquid containing 0.05% sodium azide.

Unpurified rabbit serum

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in Mouse kidney lysate.
Western Blot Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected GLUT-5 in 10 µg of mouse kidney lysates.

Specificity

Recognizes GLUT-5.

Storage and Stability

Store at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 1 year from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target description
