Product Overview
BioVenic mouse monoclonal antibody is specific for glucose transporter type 4. It is affinity purified by protein A. It can be applied to WB, IHC, IF-P, FC and ELISA assays of glucose transporter type 4.
Specifications
Target Information
Porcine glucose transporter type 4 (pGLUT4) is a specialized protein that facilitates the uptake of glucose into cells in pigs. It is predominantly expressed in muscle and adipose tissue, where it plays a critical role in regulating blood glucose levels. Unlike other glucose transporters, pGLUT4 is unique in its insulin-responsive nature, meaning that its translocation to the cell surface is stimulated by the hormone insulin, allowing for increased glucose uptake in response to elevated blood sugar.
