Scientific Data Images for Human Glut4 Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Antibody

Detection of Glut4 in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Human Glut4 by Flow Cytometry.

HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with either human Glut4 (filled histogram) or irrelevant protein (open histogram) were stained with Mouse Anti-Human Glut4 Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB86541G). Cell were gated based on control antibody staining (IC0041G, data not shown). Staining was performed using our Staining Membrane-associated Proteins protocol.

Background: Glut4

Glut4 (Glucose Transporter Member 4), also known as SLC2A4, is a 509 aa multi-pass type membrane protein and shares 65% aa identity with mouse Glut4.  It is an insulin-regulated glucose transporter.  Glut4 is most highly expressed in adipose and striated muscle tissues, but has also been reported in multiple other tissues including the nervous system and breast cancer.  Insulin stimulated transport of Glut4 has been shown to be impaired in type 2 diabetes patients.  Additionally, inhibition of Glut4 may be useful in reducing proliferation of breast cancer cells.
