GLUT-1 Antibody (Immunohistochemistry) – Talent Biomedical

Exclusive Distributor in Iran: Fardad Azma Rad Co.

Pathologists use the GLUT-1 Antibody to detect Glucose Transporter Type 1 (SLC2A1) in tissue samples.
GLUT-1 is a 55 kDa transmembrane protein responsible for glucose transport across cell membranes.
As a result, the antibody helps evaluate glucose metabolism in normal and malignant tissues.

In addition, GLUT-1 is highly expressed in erythrocytes, vascular endothelium, and the blood–brain barrier.
It supports basal glucose uptake in tissues that depend heavily on glucose for energy.
Therefore, its expression provides valuable biological information.

Technical Features

Clinical Significance

GLUT-1 acts as a key marker of glucose metabolism and tissue hypoxia.
Moreover, its overexpression correlates with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis in breast, colon, lung, and brain cancers.
Consequently, GLUT-1 expression helps assess tumor biology, metabolic status, and proliferative activity.
