Applications
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.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ICC/IF | 1/1000. | |
| WB | 1/2000 - 1/2500. Detects a band of approximately 45 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 54.8 kDa).Can be blocked with Rat 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. It is recomended to use 3% milk block. |

Target
-
FunctionInsulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter.
-
Tissue specificitySkeletal and cardiac muscles; brown and white fat.
-
Involvement in diseaseDiabetes mellitus, non-insulin-dependent
-
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.
-
Post-translational
modificationsSumoylated. -
Cellular localizationCell membrane. 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 (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Glucose Transporter GLUT4 antibody (ab654)IHC image of Glucose Transporter GLUT4 staining in human heart formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond™ 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 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab654, 5µg/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.

Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 30 minutes at 22°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in 10% Horse serum) for 1 hour at 22°C. A FITC-conjugated rabbit polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody (1/100).

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, 1/1000 dilution) 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.

Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 3% BSA for 1 hour at 25°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/50 in 3% BSA in TBS) for 16 hours at 4°C. An undiluted Biotin-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal was used as the secondary antibody.
