It supplies glucose for energy metabolism in most tissues and is essential for transport across the blood-brain barrier and into erythrocytes. GLUT1 expression is induced under hypoxia and by oncogenic signaling, and it is markedly upregulated in many tumors to support the high glycolytic demand of cancer cells. Aberrant GLUT1 activity is linked to cancer metabolism, while loss-of-function mutations cause GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, making GLUT1 an important target in cancer and cardiovascular research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description \u0026amp; Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe h\/m GLUT1 shRNA Lentivirus delivers a validated short hairpin RNA that achieves at least 70% knockdown of human and mouse glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1\/SLC2A1). The shRNA is expressed from a U6 promoter in a third-generation, self-inactivating lentiviral backbone, with a co-expressed fluorescent reporter (GFP or RFP, optionally with luciferase) and antibiotic selection marker for stable cell line generation. Knockdown is confirmed using a rapid fluorescence-based assay. The shRNA lentivirus set provides particles from a mix of two independent validated shRNAs plus a matched scrambled control. Applications include loss-of-function studies of glucose uptake, cancer cell metabolism, and hypoxic responses. Particles are ultra-purified and concentrated to high titer by PEG precipitation and sucrose gradient centrifugation, transducing difficult-to-transfect cells, including primary and thawed cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout This Product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis validated shRNA lentivirus targeting SLC2A1 (NCBI Accession: NM_006516) delivers a 19–20 bp shRNA from a third-generation, self-inactivating lentiviral backbone. Expression is driven from a U6 Pol III promoter, with a constitutively expressed fluorescent reporter (GFP, GFP\/Luc, RFP, RFP\/Luc) and antibiotic selection marker (Puromycin, Blasticidin) co-expressed from the same vector. VSV-G pseudotyping enables broad cell tropism, including primary, suspension, and cryopreserved cell types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnockdown is validated using a proprietary bicistronic fluorescence assay in which the target mRNA is co-expressed fused to RFP alongside the shRNA-GFP construct. At least 70% reduction in RFP signal in GFP-positive cells confirms on-target activity — a more direct functional readout than transcript-level qPCR. Polyclonal stable lines can be generated by antibiotic selection within 10 days, preserving parental cell heterogeneity compared to single-clone CRISPR approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LipExoGen Biotech","offers":[{"title":"GFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6 (sh-mix) + 5x10^6 (scr-mix)","offer_id":53251624796525,"sku":"LSV-0008-SET1","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP \/ Blasticidin \/ 5x10^6 (sh-mix) + 5x10^6 (scr-mix)","offer_id":53311264096621,"sku":"LSV-0008-SET2","price":1195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53311264129389,"sku":"LSV-0008-1S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP \/ Blasticidin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53311264162157,"sku":"LSV-0008-2S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GFP\/Luc \/ None \/ 2x10^6","offer_id":53311264194925,"sku":"LSV-0008-3S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP\/Luc \/ None \/ 2x10^6","offer_id":53311264227693,"sku":"LSV-0008-4S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GFP \/ Blasticidin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53311264260461,"sku":"LSV-0008-5S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"RFP \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53311264293229,"sku":"LSV-0008-6S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"None \/ Puromycin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53311264325997,"sku":"LSV-0008-7S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"None \/ Blasticidin \/ 5x10^6","offer_id":53311264358765,"sku":"LSV-0008-8S","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/LSV-0008-h-GLUT1-sh-6p.jpg?v=1776934145","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/h-m-glut1-shrna-lentivirus-bhv19400126","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
