Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-PDK4 antibody [1C2BG5] (AB110336)
ICC/IF image of ab110336 stained HepG2 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 (ab110336, 10μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96879, DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 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.

Western blot - Anti-PDK4 antibody [1C2BG5] (AB110336)
Western blot : Anti-PDK4 antibody [1C2BG5] (ab110336) staining at 1 ug/ml, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab110336 was shown to bind specifically to PDK4. A band was observed at 45 kDa in wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in PDK4 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and PDK4 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
The enzyme functions to inhibit the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex by adding phosphate groups which reduces the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and shifts energy production from carbohydrates to fats especially during fasting or prolonged exercise. PDK4 operates as a homodimer and is often part of a larger regulatory system balancing glucose and fatty acid oxidation in response to nutrient availability.
Pathways
PDK4 is integral to the regulation of both glucose metabolism and fatty acid oxidation. The enzyme interacts closely with the insulin signaling pathway where it modulates glucose uptake and utilization based on hormonal signals. Additionally PDK4 is a part of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway where it plays a role in cellular response to low oxygen levels interacting with related proteins such as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH).
