Used in research to detect and quantify SLC2A8 (GLUT8), a glucose transporter protein, particularly in cellular and tissue studies related to glucose metabolism. Enables investigation of insulin-responsive glucose transport in neurons, testes, and other tissues where GLUT8 is expressed. Commonly applied in Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry to study metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and reproductive biology. Supports target validation in diabetes and cancer metabolism research by providing specific binding to intracellular GLUT8 isoforms.
