The GLUT1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect GLUT1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of GLUT1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on GLUT1.

Qualitative determination of GLUT1 concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, GLUT1 is captured by GLUT1-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

UniProt Protein Function:GLUT1: an integral membrane protein that plays an important role in the glycolytic pathway by serving as a uniporter for glucose. One of 13 members of the human equilibrative glucose transport protein family. Transports a wide range of aldoses, including both pentoses and hexoses, and dehydroascorbic acid. Shown to transport water against an osmotic gradient. A receptor for the Human T-cell Leukemia virus (HTLV). Plays a role in the constitutive or basal uptake of glucose. Expressed at highest levels in proliferating cells of the early developing embryo, cells forming the blood tissue barriers, in human erythrocytes, astrocytes and in cardiac muscle. GLUT1 and GLUT3 are both essential for normal embryonic development. Is practically the only member of the GLUT family expressed on human red blood cells, where it comprises 10 - 20% of the integral membrane protein content. Several glycolytic proteins including the transporters GLUT1 and GLUT3, as well as multiple enzymes including HK2, PFKL, LDHA, ALDOA, ALDOC, PGK1, ENO1, PKM2, CA9 and PFKFB3 are induced in cancer cells by HIF-1 alpha. Polyps from Peutz-Jeghers patients exhibit up-regulated mTORC1 signaling, HIF-1alpha, and GLUT1 levels. Defects in GLUT1 are the cause of autosomal dominant GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a blood-brain barrier glucose transport defect characterized by infantile seizures, delayed development, and acquired microcephaly. Defects also cause dystonia type 18, an exercise-induced paroxysmal dystonia/dyskinesia. Cytochalasin B binds to its inner surface, inhibiting its glucose transport activity with an IC50 of 0.44 uM.

NCBI Summary:This gene encodes a major glucose transporter in the mammalian blood-brain barrier. The encoded protein is found primarily in the cell membrane and on the cell surface, where it can also function as a receptor for human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV) I and II. Mutations in this gene have been found in a family with paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesia. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]

StepProcedure
1.Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells.
2.Incubate the cells for overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2.
3.Treat the cells as desired.
4.Remove the cell culture medium and rinse with 200 µL of 1x TBS, twice.
5.Fix the cells by incubating with 100 µL of Fixing Solution for 20 minutes at room temperature. The 4% formaldehyde is used for adherent cells and 8% formaldehyde is used for suspension cells and loosely attached cells.
6.Remove the Fixing Solution and wash the plate 3 times with 200 µL 1x Wash Buffer for five minutes each time with gentle shaking on the orbital shaker. The plate can be stored at 4°C for a week.
