Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: mouse liver tissue, rat liver tissue
• Positive IP detected in: mouse liver tissue
• Positive IHC detected in: human liver tissue; Note: suggested antigen retrieval with TE buffer pH 9.0; (*) Alternatively, antigen retrieval may be performed with citrate buffer pH 6.0

This antibody is not recommended for WB detection of human samples.

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:1000-1:4000
• Immunoprecipitation (IP): IP : 0.5-4.0 ug for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:100-1:400

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

Glucokinase (GCK) is a structurally and functionally unique member of hexokinase family. It is expressed only in mammalian liver and pancreatic islet beta cells. Because of its unique functional characteristics, the enzyme plays an important regulatory role in glucose metabolism.The rate of glucose metabolism in liver and pancreas is a function of the activity of the enzyme(PMID:1740341). Moreover, GCK has been found to have relationship with diabetes. Defects in GCK are the cause of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2) and familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 3 (HHF3). It has 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing with the same molecular mass of 52 kDa.
