IHC image of Insulin staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human normal pancreas* performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab63820, 0.1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

ab63820 staining Insulin in Mouse pancreas tissue section by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). The tissue section underwent formaldehyde fixation and enzymatic epitope retrieval step. The primary antibody was used at 1μg/ml and incubated with the sample for 1 hour. An HRP-conjugated Rabbit HRP polymer system was used undiluted with the secondary antibody.

ab63820 staining Insulin in Rin-5F cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab63820 at 1µg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour magenta). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Insulin a peptide hormone plays an essential mechanical role in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Insulin alternatively known as bovine insulin in some research contexts has a molecular mass of around 5800 Da. Beta cells in the pancreas express insulin where it gets secreted directly into the bloodstream. The hormone regulates glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells such as muscle and adipose tissues.
Biological function summary

Insulin influences several key metabolic processes by binding to its receptor a component of the insulin receptor substrate family. This triggers a cascade of events within cells promoting the uptake of glucose and converting it into energy. Insulin operates as a singular entity but plays a critical role in forming a complex with its receptor. This interaction triggers downstream effects that alter the activity of enzymes and transcription factors involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.

Pathways

Insulin is critical for the regulation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and the MAPK pathway. These pathways modulate processes such as cell growth proliferation and survival. Insulin interacts closely with other proteins in these pathways such as the insulin receptor substrate proteins and influences downstream proteins like AKT kinase which has a significant role in mediating the metabolic effects initiated by insulin binding.

Insulin is most notably linked to diabetes mellitus characterized by insufficient insulin production or action. This deficiency disrupts normal glucose homeostasis leading to hyperglycemia. Other associated proteins include glucagon which counteracts insulin's role in lowering blood glucose levels and IRS-1 an important element through which insulin signaling is transduced. Researchers utilize mouse insulin ELISA and insulin ELISA kits to better understand these relationships and develop treatments for insulin-related disorders.
