GLUT2 Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an integral plasma membrane glycoprotein of the liver, islet beta cells, intestine, and kidney epithelium. The encoded protein mediates facilitated bidirectional glucose transport. Because of its low affinity for glucose, it has been suggested as a glucose sensor. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to diseases, including Fanconi-Bickel syndrome and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
Uniprot Description
GLUT2: an integral membrane facilitative glucose transporter. One of 13 members of the human equilibrative glucose transport protein family. Present at high levels in the plasma membrane of pancreatic b-cells where it initiates the first step in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, a glucose metabolism-dependent signaling mechanism. May mediate the bidirectional transfer of glucose across the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. May also participate with the Na( +2)/glucose cotransporter in the transcellular transport of glucose in the small intestine and kidney. Required for glucose sensitivity in the hypothalamus and brain stem. Involved in the control of food intake and stimulation of glucose uptake by peripheral tissues.

Product Notes
The SLC2A2 slc2a2 (Catalog #AAA823094) is a Blocking Peptide produced from Synthetic and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GLUT2 Blocking Peptide reacts with Human, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GLUT2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). Blocking Peptide to the diluted primary antibody in a molar ratio of 10:1 (peptide to antibody) and incubate the mixture at 4 degree C for overnight or at room temperature for 2 hours. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SLC2A2 slc2a2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GLUT2, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
