Western blot : Anti-TUG antibody [EPR8615] ab131237 staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti GAPDH ab8245 loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. A band was observed at 70 kDa in Wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in ASPSCR1 knockout A549 cell line. To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3pc 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-Rabbit 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse 680RD at 1/20,000 dilution.

ab131237 was shown to specifically react with TUG when TUG knockout samples were used. Wild-type and TUG knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab131237 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were both diluted 1/10 000 and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

Supplementary information

Tether containing a UBX domain for GLUT4 (TUG) also known as ASPSCR1 is a protein that plays a role in cellular trafficking. TUG weighs approximately 67 kDa. It is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and muscle. TUG acts as an inhibitor that helps regulate the recycling and translocation of the glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) by tethering it in the cytoplasm until stimulated by insulin.
Biological function summary

TUG regulates glucose homeostasis and energy balance. It forms a complex with GLUT4-containing vesicles controlling their movement to the plasma membrane in response to insulin stimulation. When insulin is present TUG undergoes proteolytic cleavage releasing GLUT4 so that it can facilitate glucose uptake into cells. This regulation of glucose transport is essential in maintaining normal blood glucose levels.

Pathways

TUG operates within the insulin signaling pathway and glucose transport pathway. By interacting with GLUT4 TUG controls its translocation important for insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Another significant pathway involving TUG is the trafficking of proteins through the Golgi apparatus where TUG might interact with other UBX domain-containing proteins to manage vesicular traffic.

TUG is linked to type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. Abnormalities in TUG function or expression can disrupt normal GLUT4 trafficking and impair glucose uptake contributing to these metabolic disorders. Furthermore TUG might interact with proteins related to Alzheimer's disease such as those impacting insulin signaling suggesting a potential role in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders.
