GLUT7, Control Peptide (Solute Carrier Family 2, Facilitated Glucose Transporter Member 7, Glucose Transporter Type 7, GLUT-7, SLC2A7)
Control peptide for G3900-80G (affinity purified) and G3900-80H (antiserum).
Most mammalian cells transport glucose through a family of membrane proteins known as glucose transporters. Molecular cloning of these glucose transporters has identified a family of closely related genes that encodes at least 7 proteins (Glut-1 to Glut-13, Mol. Wt. 40-80kD) and Sodium glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1, 662aa; ~75kD). Individual member of this family have identical predicted secondary structures with 12 transmembrane domains. Both N and C-termini are predicted to be cytoplasmic. Most differences in sequence homology exist within the four hydrophilic domains that may play a role in tissue-specific targeting. Glut isoform differ in their tissue expression, substrate specificity and kinetic characteristics.
