GLUT-3 Polyclonal Antibody

Glucose transporter 3  (or  GLUT3), also known as  solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 3  (SLC2A3) is a  protein  that in humans is encoded by the  SLC2A3  gene. GLUT3  facilitates  the transport ofglucose  across the  plasma membranes  of mammalian cells. GLUT3 is most known for its specific expression in  neurons  and has originally been designated as the neuronal GLUT. GLUT3 has been studied in other cell types with specific glucose requirements, including  sperm, preimplantation  embryos, circulating  white blood cells  and  carcinoma  cell lines. GLUT3 has both a higher affinity for glucose and at least a fivefold greater transport capacity than GLUT1, GLUT2 and GLUT4, which is particularly significant for its role in neuronal glucose transport, where ambient glucose levels are fivefold lower than in serum.
