Human Glucose Transporter 4 (GLUT4) ELISA Kit

Measure insulin-responsive glucose uptake with this quantitative immunoassay targeting Glucose Transporter 4 (GLUT4) levels in human samples. GLUT4 is the predominant facilitative glucose transporter found in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and adipose tissue, where it translocates to the plasma membrane in response to insulin signaling. Dysregulation of GLUT4 membrane trafficking is implicated in insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome research, making reliable quantification of this transporter essential for metabolic studies.

This Assay Genie kit is configured for 96 assays and includes the reagents required to generate a standard curve and quantify endogenous GLUT4 protein from tissue homogenates and cell lysates. The assay supports sample matrices relevant to metabolic research, including adipose and skeletal muscle tissue preparations, and is processed using standard laboratory ELISA workflows.

Typical applications include investigating insulin-stimulated glucose transport mechanisms, screening pharmacological compounds for metabolic activity, and characterizing GLUT4 expression in cell culture models of diabetes and obesity. The reagents support reproducible standard curves across multiple plates and are intended for research use only.
