Glucose Transporter 4 antibody | 1F8
Mouse anti Rat glucose transporter-4 antibody, clone 1F8 (4670-1725) used for the evaluation of GLUT-4 expression in myotube lysates by western blotting.
Image caption:
Effect of resveratrol on translocation of GLUT4 to plasma membrane and phosphorylation of AMPK and Akt. A: Translocation of GLUT4 to plasma membrane of L6 myotubes which were exposed to 100 μM resveratrol for 15 min. GLUT4 and plasma membrane were detected by western blotting analyses with anti-GLUT4 and anti-Na+/K+ ATPase antibodies. Post-PM and PM indicate post plasma membrane and plasma membrane fractions, respectively. B, C: Effect of resveratrol on phosphorylation of AMPK (B) and Akt (C). L6 myotubes were exposed to resveratrol (10 μM) for indicated time intervals. Western blotting analyses were carried out with anti-AMPK, anti-phospho-AMPK, anti-Akt and anti-phospho-Akt antibodies. D, E: Time-dependent changes of GLUT4 translocation in L6 myotubes at 10 μM (D) or 100 μM (E) resveratrol. L6 myotubes were exposed to resveratrol for indicated time intervals. Plasma membrane fractions of L6 myotubes were subjected to western blotting analyses.

Antibody Quality and 
Unrivaled 
| Mouse anti glucose transporter 4 antibody, clone 1F8 originally raised against rat intracellular low density microsomes (James et al. 1987) recognizes an epitope in the cytoplasmic region of Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), an insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter found in adipose tissue and striated muscle. When stimulated by insulin, GLUT4 translocates from intracellular stores to the cell surface, facilitating passive diffusion of circulating glucose into muscle and fat cells. GLUT4 is also stimulated to locate to the cell surface by muscle contraction, particularly in cardiac muscle (James et al. 1988). Mouse anti glucose transporter 4 antibody, clone 1F8 has been used successfully to demonstrate the localization of GLUT4 to the basolateral side of ductal structures in the rat submandibular salivary gland in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded material (Cetik et al. 2014). |
