Lead Time
Delivery times vary depending on the purchasing method and location. Please contact your local distributor for precise delivery estimates.

Note: All proteins are shipped with standard blue ice packs. Dry ice shipping requires prior arrangement and incurs additional charges.

Notes
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial briefly before opening to collect the contents. Reconstitute the protein in sterile, deionized water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. For long-term storage, we recommend adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting at -20°C/-80°C. Our standard glycerol concentration is 50%, which can be used as a guideline.
Shelf Life
Shelf life depends on several factors, including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and the inherent stability of the protein. Generally, liquid forms have a 6-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C, while lyophilized forms have a 12-month shelf life at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is essential for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function

This protein may function as a GTPase-activating protein for RAB2A, RAB8A, RAB10, and RAB14. It facilitates insulin-induced translocation of the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, thereby increasing glucose uptake.

Gene References Into Functions
  1. FKBP5 knockout mice exhibit protection against high-fat diet-induced weight gain, improved glucose tolerance, and enhanced insulin signaling in skeletal muscle. A novel association between FKBP51 and AS160 (an AKT2 substrate involved in glucose uptake) has been identified. FKBP51 antagonism increases AS160 phosphorylation. PMID: 29170369

  3. Studies demonstrate that AS160's RabGAP activity maintains GLUT4 protein levels in a cell/tissue-autonomous manner; its inactivation leads to lysosomal degradation of GLUT4 and postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. PMID: 27554475
  4. AS160 knockout mice exhibit GLUT4 expression and glucose uptake defects in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. These defects are compounded in AS160 KO/Tbc1d1 KO mice, supporting non-redundant functions for AS160 and Tbc1d1. PMID: 26625902
  5. AS160 directly links Na(+),K(+)-ATPase trafficking to the energy state of renal epithelial cells. PMID: 25788531

  10. AS160 knockout mice exhibited insulin resistance in muscle and liver in a euglycemic clamp study. PMID: 23078342
  11. Constitutive plasma membrane targeting of AS160 increased surface GLUT4 levels, attributed to enhanced AS160 phosphorylation, 14-3-3 binding, and inhibition of AS160 GAP activity. PMID: 23045393

  21. S711 is a novel TBC1D4 phosphorylation site regulated by AMPK in skeletal muscle. PMID: 19923418
