Immunogen Region: |
400-500 |
Immunogen: |
Synthetic peptide taken within amino acid region 400-500 on GLUT8 protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in testis, but not in testicular carcinoma. Lower amounts present in most other tissues. |
Function | Insulin-regulated facilitative hexose transporter that mediates the transport of glucose and fructose. Facilitates hepatic influx of dietary trehalose, which in turn inhibits glucose and fructose influx triggering a starvation signal and hepatic autophagy through activation of AMPK and ULK1. Also able to mediate the transport of dehydroascorbate. |
