Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab654 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
WB: 1/2000 - 1/2500. Detects a band of approximately 45 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 54.8 kDa).Can be blocked with Glucose Transporter GLUT4 peptide (ab115831). The samples MUST NOT be boiled before running the gel as highly hydrophobic membrane proteins, like glucose transporters, aggregate severely at high temperatures due to the hydrophobic effect, which increases as a direct function of temperature. If the samples are boiled, much of the transporter will aggregate so severely it doesn't enter the running gel and higher order oligomers will be observed.
IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
ICC: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
IM: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Can also can be used for Immunogold EM (purified IgG). See references for specific protocols.
IHC-Fr: 1/500.
ICC/IF: 1/100. PubMed: 19190184
Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter.
Skeletal and cardiac muscles; brown and white fat.
Defects in SLC2A4 may be a cause of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [MIM:125853]. Defects in SLC2A4 may be a cause of certain post-receptor defects in NIDDM. The variant in position Ile-383 is found in a small number of NIDDM patients, but seems not to be found in nondiabetic subjects.
Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.
Sumoylated.
Endomembrane system. Cytoplasm > perinuclear region. Localizes primarily to the perinuclear region, undergoing continued recycling to the plasma membrane where it is rapidly reinternalized. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Glucose Transporter GLUT4 antibody (ab654)

ab654 at a 1/300 dilution, staining human GLUT4 in fetal heart tissue by Immunohistochemistry, frozen tissue.
Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Glucose Transporter GLUT4 antibody (ab654)

ab654 at 1/500 dilution staining GLUT4 in mouse muscle by immunohistochemistry (frozen sections). Sections were methanol fixed prior to blocking in 5% goat serum for 1 hour at 25°C and then incubated with ab654 for 1 hour at 25°C. A goat polyclonal to rabbit Ig, diluted 1/500, was used as the secondary antibody.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence-Glucose Transporter GLUT4 antibody(ab654)

ICC/IF image of ab654 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab654, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
