REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.

Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

Supplementary information

Glucose Transporter 8 also known as GLUT8 is a member of the sugar transporter family. This protein plays a mechanical role in transferring glucose across cellular membranes. GLUT8 operates with facilitative transport ensuring glucose entry into cells. It has a molecular mass of around 55 kDa. Expression sites for GLUT8 include tissues like the testis brain and placenta. This specific transporter assists in maintaining glucose homeostasis critical for cell metabolism and energy production.
Biological function summary

GLUT8 facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells supporting cellular survival and energetic demands. It does not appear to be part of any large protein complex but operates independently to bring glucose into the intracellular environment. This functionality underpins its involvement in energy regulation influencing cellular respiration and growth by ensuring glucose availability especially in specialized tissues such as the brain and placenta.

Pathways

GLUT8 acts within the insulin signaling and glucose transport pathways. The transporter integrates with the insulin-responsive network where it responds to insulin stimulation to increase glucose uptake in cells expressing it similar to insulin-regulated transporters like GLUT4. GLUT8's functionality ensures effective glucose utilization directly linking its transport activity with energy metabolism pathways.

GLUT8's role connects to metabolic dysfunction and neurological conditions. Research shows a connection to diabetes primarily through its responsive nature to insulin which affects glucose homeostasis. Additionally GLUT8 is linked to Alzheimer's disease with potential interactions with amyloid precursor proteins and insulin signaling disruptions. These connections highlight GLUT8's relevance to neurological and energy balance disorders.
