Anti-SLC2A8 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein solute carrier family 2 member 8. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 477 amino acid residues and a mass of 50.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasmic vesicles and cell membrane. It is reported to be highly expressed in the testis, but not in testicular carcinoma. A member of the Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) protein family, SLC2A8 is known to be involved with carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include GLUTX1, solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 8, glucose transporter type 8, glucose transporter type X1, and GLUT8. SLC2A8 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of SLC2A8 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
