Anti-Glucose Transporter GLUT4/SLC2A4 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Antibody supplied by Boster Bio Read more ›

Product Description
Facilitated glucose transport by mammalian cells is not a property of a single protein but an activity associated with a family of structurally related proteins. Glucose transporter 4 is a insulin-responsive glucose transporter. It belongs to solute carrier family 2, member 1. Insulin alters the subcellular localization of GLUT4 vesicles in human muscle, and that this effect is impaired equally in insulin-resistant subjects with and without diabetes. A similar pattern of defects cause insulin resistance in human adipocytes.Human insulin resistance involves a defect in GLUT4 traffic and targeting leading to accumulation in a dense membrane compartment from which insulin is unable to recruit GLUT4 to the cell surface.

Storage & Stability
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation. Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used. For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.
