Anti-phospho GLUT-1 Antibody (Ser226)

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HeLa cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 2.0 µg/mL of this antibody detected Ser226 phosphorylated GLUT-1 in lysates from PMA-treated HeLa cells.

Peptide Inhibition Analysis: 2.0 µg/mL from a representative lot detected Ser226 phosphorylated GLUT-1 in lysates from PMA-treated HeLa cells. Pre-incubation of the antibody with the immunogen peptide, but not the correspoding non-phosphorylated peptide, blocked the detection of the phospho GLUT-1 band.
Western Blotting Analysis: An 1:200 dilution (5 µg/mL) from a representative lot detected TPA-induced phosphorylation of wild-type GLUT-1, but not GLUT-1 with S226A mution in lysates from Rat2 fibroblasts expsssing the respective constructs via retrovirus-mediated transfection (Courtesy of Dr. Richard C. Wang, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX).
Western Blotting Analysis: An 1:200 dilution (5 µg/mL) from a representative lot detected a time-dependent GLUT-1 Ser226 phosphorylation induction in serum-starved human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) upon VEGF treatment (Courtesy of Dr. Richard C. Wang, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX).

No. 500582 & 524400) treatment only the in the absence, but not in the presence, of PKC inhibitor Go 6983 (Cat. No. 365251) (Lee, E.E., et al. (2015). Mol. Cell. 58(5):845-853).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected a time-dependent GLUT-1 Ser226 phosphorylation induction in serum-starved human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) upon VEGF or angiotensin II treatment (Lee, E.E., et al. (2015). Mol. Cell. 58(5):845-853).

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected PKC activator TPA-induced GLUT-1 Ser226 phosphorylation in serum-starved HeLa, human primary cardiac endothelial cells, EA.hy926 human endothelial cells, and bEnd.3 mouse brain endothelial cells (Lee, E.E., et al. (2015). Mol. Cell. 58(5):845-853).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected PKC-catalyzed Ser226 phosphorylation of GST fusion protein containing wild-type GLUT-1 Loop 6 (4th cytoplasmic domain) seuqnce, but not GST-Loop 6 fusions with R223P, R223Q, R223W, or S226A mutation, in in vitro kinase assays (Lee, E.E., et al. (2015). Mol. Cell. 58(5):845-853).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected a time-dependent GLUT-1 Ser226 phosphorylation induction in serum-starved human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) upon VEGF treatment (Lee, E.E., et al. (2015). Mol. Cell. 58(5):845-853).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected PKC activation-induced GLUT-1 Ser226 phosphorylation in the membrane ruffles of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) upon TPA (Cat. No. 500582 & 524400) treatment (Lee, E.E., et al. (2015). Mol. Cell. 58(5):845-853).
Note: Process lysate samples by warming at 50°C for 10 minutes prior to gel loading. Avoid heating samples at a temperature higher than 60°C, which can cause aggregation of the target protein.

This Anti-phospho GLUT-1 Antibody (Ser226) is validated for use in Western Blotting, Peptide Inhibition Assay, Immunocytochemistry for the detection of phospho GLUT-1.

Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 1 (UniProt P11166; also known as Glucose transporter type 1 erythrocyte/brain, GLUT-1, HepG2 glucose transporter, Human T-cell leukemia virus I and II receptor, Receptor for HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) is encoded by the SLC2A1 (also known as DYT9, DYT17, DYT18, EIG12, GLUT, GLUT1, HTLVR, GLUT1DS, PED) gene (Gene ID 6513) in human. Glucose transporters (GLUT-1 to GLUT-7) constitute a family of integral membrane glycoproteins that facilitate cellular glucose uptake. In addition to mediating glucose uptake in adult tissues, GLUT-1 is the predominant glucose transporter in embryonic and fetal tissues. Two forms of GLUT-1 are found in human frontal cortex, the 55 kDa form of GLUT-1 regulates import of glucose from blood to brain across the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), whereas the 45 kDa form of GLUT-1 predominantly regulates nonvascular glial glucose uptake.

~50 kDa observed. A smeared banding pattern between 45-75 kDa can often be seen, representing target bands with varying degrees of glycosylation.

Epitope: pSer226 in the fourth cytoplasmic domain (Loop 6).

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a fourth cytoplasmic domain (Loop 6) sequence of human GLUT-1 with phosphorylated Ser226.
