Key elements and design rationale
- Target: MIPOL1 (solute carrier family 2 member 6). Alternative names: Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 6; Glucose transporter type 6; GLUT-6; Glucose transporter type 9; GLUT-9; SLC2A6; GLUT9
- Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
- Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
- Immunogen: E.coli-derived human MIPOL1 recombinant protein (Position: N63-A399).

These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.
Biological background
Function: Facilitative glucose transporter; binds cytochalasin B with low affinity.
Cellular localization: Cell membrane. Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue details: Highly expressed in brain, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Background: MIPOL1 (Mirror Image Polydactyly 1), also known as CCDC193 (Coiled-coil domain containing 193), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIPOL1 gene. This gene encodes a coiled-coil domain-containing protein. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor. A translocation that results in truncation of the protein encoded by this locus has been associated with mirror-image polydactyly, also known as Laurin-Sandrow Syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.
Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
- Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.
For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
