Rat Glut4 Antibody

Glut4 in L6 Rat Cell Line. Glut4 was detected in immersion fixed L6 rat myoblast cell line (differentiated to muscle) using 10 µg/mL Rat Glut4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1262) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Glut4 in Rat Heart Tissue. Glut4 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of rat heart tissue using Mouse Anti-Rat Glut4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1262) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (brown; Catalog # VC001) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in cardiomyocytes. View our protocol for IHC Staining with VisUCyte HRP Polymer Detection Reagents.

Detection of Human Glut4 by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence Primary podocytes can be cultured from kidney organoid glomeruli. a Isolated organoid glomeruli show evidence of podocyte cell migration (OrgPods) displaying thin arborized projections (TAPs) (inset). Inverted image shown to provide maximum contrast, scale bar 100 µm. b TAPS from newly emerged podocytes are composed of F-actin shown by phallodin immunofluorescent staining. Inverted image, scale bar 50 µm. c Immunostaining at 36 h post-plating shows a strong positively stained 3D OrgGlom with a migrating 2D OrgPod population. Left panel 2D images, right panel 3D reconstruction of Z-stack. Scale bars 50 µm. d At 48 h post-plating OrgPods display a flattened, arborized morphology with processes connecting adjacent cells (arrow), scale bar 50 µm. e Immunostaining of ciPods for SYNAPTOPODIN showed expression is absent in undifferentiated cells (ciPod: Un), only becoming evident following 14 days induced differentiation at 37 °C (ciPod: Diff). OrgPods also display strong SYNAPTOPODIN protein expression, aligned with F-actin stress fibres. Scale bars 100 µm. f OrgPods express the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRN) and actively endocytose fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled albumin at 37 °C resulting in FITC-accumulation in endosomes on the cell surface. This is process halted when performed at 4 °C. Scale bars 50 µm. g OrgPods stimulated with insulin (10 mg/ml) for 10 min showed cortical reorganisation of their actin cytoskeleton with GLUT4 translocation from a vesicular to plasma membrane localisation. Scale bars 50 µm. All representative images reflect a minimum of three biological replicates.
