Biochem/physiol Actions

SLC2A3 (solute carrier family 2) encodes a high-affinity glucose transporter protein. It is widely expressed in various tissues specifically chondrocytes. It is involved in the immune response and chondrocyte metabolism. During embryonic development, it helps to transport glucose from maternal blood across the placental trophoblastic tissue for the fetal growth. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it plays a vital role in the immune response and chondrocyte function. In addition to RA, it is also associated with various diseases, including dyslexia, Alzheimer′s disease, schizophrenia, and Huntingtons disease. It has also been reported that GLUT3 gene may have clinical importance in the myelomeningocele (MM) disease.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
