General description

Glucose uptake has a variety of methods and transporters and depends upon the metabolic demand of the cell type and availability of glucose. There are over ten different facilitated diffusion glucose transporters which transports glucose down its concentration gradient without ATP hydrolysis. In the kidneys, secondary active transport is used to uptake glucose against its concentration gradient to ensure that very little glucose is excreted in urine.

Features and Benefits

  • Linear detection range: 0.1 µM to 5 µM 2-DG6P

Suitability

The kit is suitable for the determination of glucose uptake in whole cells and the evaluation of effects of ligands or drugs on glucose transport.

Principle

The Glucose Uptake Assay Kit is a fluorescent cell-based assay that uses 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG), a widely used glucose analog because it can be taken up by glucose transporters and metabolized by endogenous hexokinase, into 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate (2-DG6P). 2-DG6P accumulates intracellularly because it is not a suitable substrate for phosphoglucose isomerase, the next step in glycolysis. The cells are lysed, and excess NADP and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) is added to metabolize 2-DG6P and generate a molar equivalent amount of NADPH. The NADPH is then measured using a G6PDH recycling reaction to amplify the signal and generate a fluorescent signal measureable at λEx = 530 nm/λEm = 585 nm proportional to the concentration of 2-DG6P.
