Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes glucokinase regulatory protein (gene GCKR) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 68.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 69 kDa.
Glucokinase regulatory protein (GCKR) is a liver protein that binds and inhibits glucokinase and holds it in the nucleus when glucose is low. After a meal, fructose metabolites release glucokinase back to the cytoplasm. Common GCKR variants are associated with blood triglyceride and glucose levels.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): HeLa cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): U2OS cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human GCKR fragment (Gln8–Gln569), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places glucokinase regulatory protein in the cytoplasm, nucleus and mitochondrion. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Found in liver and pancreas. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
