As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9; Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9. Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 9, also known as SLC2A9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC2A9 gene. This gene encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Members of this family play a significant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This gene is mapped to 4p16.1. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. This gene transports urate and fructose. It may have a role in the urate reabsorption by proximal tubules. This gene also transports glucose at low rate. Functional note: Transport urate and fructose. May have a role in the urate reabsorption by proximal tubules. Also transports glucose at low rate. . Reported localization: Isoform 1: Basolateral cell membrane ; Multi- pass membrane protein . Expression/tissue context: Most strongly expressed in basolateral membranes of proximal renal tubular cells, liver and placenta. Also detected in lung, blood leukocytes, heart skeletal muscle and chondrocytes from articular cartilage. Isoform 2 is only detected in the apical membranes of polarized renal tubular cells and placenta. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are detected in kidney membrane (at protein level). .
