Description

General description

Solute carrier family 2 member 8 (SLC2A8)/Glucose transporter 8 (GLUT8), a class III sugar transporter, is expressed in the testis and brain. In the brain, GLUT8 is expressed mainly in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human SLC2A8

Biochem/physiol Actions

Solute carrier family 2 member 8 (SLC2A8)/glucose transporter 8 (GLUT8) plays a key role in modulating the transport of fructose and the utilization of mammalian fructose. It is a trehalose transporter found in mammals that is necessary for trehalose-induced autophagy. SLC2A8 can also transport intracellular hexose. Hence, it might serve as a multifunctional sugar transporter.
