Biological background

Biological context: Beta-adrenergic receptors mediate the catecholamine-induced activation of adenylate cyclase through the action of G proteins. Beta-3 is involved in the regulation of lipolysis and thermogenesis.

Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Mitochondrion inner membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Matrix side, tissue context: Expressed mainly in adipose tissues..

Common research applications

• Western blotting (WB): Compare GCKR levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of GCKR in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
• Immunofluorescence / ICC: Assess subcellular localization patterns and co-localization with compartment markers in cultured cells.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify GCKR-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
• ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
• Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.

Additional product notes (from provided fields)

• Background: The glucokinase regulatory protein (GKRP) also known as glucokinase (hexokinase 4) regulator (GCKR) is a protein produced in hepatocytes (liver cells). This gene encodes a protein belonging to the GCKR subfamily of the SIS (Sugar ISomerase) family of proteins. The gene product is a regulatory protein that inhibits glucokinase in liver and pancreatic islet cells by binding non-covalently to form an inactive complex with the enzyme. This gene is considered a susceptibility gene candidate for a form of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).
• Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
• Cellular localization: Mitochondrion inner membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Matrix side
• Tissue details: Expressed mainly in adipose tissues.
• Research category: Cardiovascular,G Protein Signaling,Signal Transduction,Signaling Pathway
