Anti-SLC2A4 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein solute carrier family 2 member 4. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 509 amino acid residues and a mass of 54.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in the smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and heart muscle. A member of the Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) protein family, SLC2A4 is known to be involved with brown fat cell differentiation and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis. Synonyms for this target antigen include solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, GLUT-4, glucose transporter type 4, insulin-responsive, insulin-responsive glucose transporter type 4, and GLUT4. SLC2A4 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog and chimpanzee species. Over 420 citations in the literature describe the use of SLC2A4 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
