Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at -20C short term. Aliquot and store at -80C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
• Buffer: 0.1 mg cell homogenate lyophilized in RIPA buffer made with double-knockout cell lines.
• Concentration: LYOPH
• Reconstitution Instructions: To use as WB negative control, spin down briefly and resuspend in 100 uL 1xSDS sample buffer (2% SDS, 60 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.02% Bromophenol blue, 60 mM beta-mercaptoethanol). Boil the lysate for 3 - 5 minutes before loading it onto gel.

Lysate Details for Array

• Type: Knockout HeLa Cell

Notes

Powered by EDIGENE.
Validation of antibody specificity is critical and verification of antibody performance against knockout samples is one way to guarantee that an antibody recognizes a specific target. Novus' KO cell lysate can be used as a negative control for western blots and to confirm the specificity of antibodies.

Background

Glucose is the major source of our energy and there are numerous isoforms of the glucose transporter in mammals, including Glut1, Glut2, Glut3, Glut4, Glut5, Glut6, Glut7, Glut8 and Glut9. The Glut5 gene located on the short arm of human chromosome 1 encodes a 501-amino acid facilitative glucose transporter. Glut5 mRNA is highly expressed in small intestine and to a lesser extent in kidney, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Glut5 plays a critical role in fructose absorption in the small intestine and its expression is highly induced when exposed to a fructose-enriched diet. Glut5 transporter expressed in human skeletal muscle is specifically localized to the plasma membrane, where it participates in regulating hexose transfer across the sarcolemma. Glut8, a novel glucose transporter-like protein, exhibits significant sequence similarity with the other members of sugar transporter family. Glut8 comprises 12 putative membrane-spanning helices and several conserved motifs, which are important for transport activity. In human tissues, Glut8 is predominantly expressed in testis and, to a lesser extent, in most other tissues including skeletal muscle, heart, small intestine and brain. In addition, the Glut8 glucose transport facilitator has a hormonally regulated testicular function.
