Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 6 (gene SLC2A6) in human and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 54.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 55–60 kDa.
GLUT6 (SLC2A6) is a member of the facilitative glucose transporter family that is expressed in immune cells and mainly located on intracellular membranes. It does not appear to transport glucose, and it has been reported to regulate glycolysis in inflammatory macrophages.

|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human placenta tissue, human PC-3 cells, rat liver tissue, rat kidney tissue, rat lung tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant human GLUT6/SLC2A6 fragment (Met1–Arg507), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and rat. UniProt places solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 6 in the lysosome membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Highly expressed in brain, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
