Biological background
Biological context: Facilitative glucose transporter; binds cytochalasin B with low affinity.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein., tissue context: Highly expressed in brain, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare SLC2A6 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of SLC2A6 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify SLC2A6-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Background: Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A6 gene. It is mapped to 9q34.2. Hexose transport into mammalian cells is catalyzed by a family of membrane proteins, including SLC2A6, that contain 12 transmembrane domains and a number of critical conserved residues.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein.
- Tissue details: Highly expressed in brain, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes.
- Research category: Cancer,Channels,Metabolism,Plasma Membrane,Signal Transduction
