The Human (SLC2A2) Solute Carrier Family 2, Facilitated Glucose Transporter Member 2 ELISA Kit measures Solute Carrier Family 2, Facilitated Glucose Transporter Member 2 in samples. The plate has been pre-coated with Human SLC2A2 antibody. SLC2A2 present in the sample is added and binds to antibodies coated on the wells. And then biotinylated Human SLC2A2 Antibody is added and binds to SLC2A2 in the sample. Then Streptavidin-HRP is added and binds to the Biotinylated SLC2A2 antibody. After incubation unbound Streptavidin-HRP is washed away during a washing step. Substrate solution is then added and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human SLC2A2. The reaction is terminated by addition of acidic stop solution and absorbance is measured at 450 nm.

BackgroundFacilitative hexose transporter that mediates the transport of glucose and fructose (PubMed: 8027028, PubMed: 16186102, PubMed: 23396969, PubMed: 28083649). Likely mediates the bidirectional transfer of glucose across the plasma membrane of hepatocytes and is responsible for uptake of glucose by the beta cells; may comprise part of the glucose-sensing mechanism of the beta cell (PubMed: 8027028). May also participate with the Na(+)/glucose cotransporter in the transcellular transport of glucose in the small intestine and kidney (PubMed: 3399500). Also able to mediate the transport of dehydroascorbate (PubMed: 23396969). Source: UniProt Consortium (2025)
