General description
Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are a family of transporters that have 12 isoforms. These isoforms differ in function, tissue distribution and developmental regulation. Solute carrier family 2, member 5 (SLC2A5), also called GLUT5 is one such isoform, which is expressed in kidney, sperm cells and small intestine. It is the only transporter in the GLUT family, which is specific for fructose and is incapable of transporting glucose or galactose. The human SLC2A5 gene encodes for a 501 amino acid protein and has 12 exons. In humans, this gene is localized to the short arm of chromosome 1.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Solute carrier family 2, member 5 (SLC2A5) is responsible for the transport of fructose in the lumen of small intestine, kidney, brain and other insulin responsive tissues such as adipose tissue and muscle. It might also be responsible for recapturing the fructose lost in glomerular filtration. The fructose uptake rate and the expression levels of SLC2A5 depend upon various conditions such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and inflammation (metabolic syndrome). Carcinogenesis has been shown to induce SLC2A5 expression, especially in mammary glands.
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:
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.
