Glucose 5 transporter catalyses the uptake of D-fructose into cells. This 55kD protein is expressed in the plasma membrane and is found mainly in intestinal tissue, kidney, and spermatozoa. Increased intestinal levels of GLUT5 are seen in type 2 diabetes

Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:50-1:200 Western Blot: 1:150-1:500 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
