Measuring GLP-1R Internalization and Recycling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GLP-1R internalization and recycling in CHO-SNAP-GLP-1R cells was measured by surface labeling with anti-GLP-1R antibody or the SNAP-tag probe Lumi4-Tb (Cisbio). For antibody labeling, after treatments at 37 °C, cells were placed on ice to arrest further endocytosis before fixation, and the surface GLP-1R was detected by ELISA with monoclonal anti-human GLP-1R antibody68 (link) (Mab 3F52, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank (DSHB), 1/100) plus horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse secondary (ab97046, Abcam, 1/5,000). 3,3′,5,5′- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate was added and the absorbance was read at 450 nm after 1 M HCl addition. For Lumi4-Tb, cells were labeled at 40 nM at 4 °C, followed by time-resolved (TR) fluorescence measurement in a Molecular Devices i3x (excitation 335 nm, emission 620 nm). Residual surface expression was determined from peptide- vs. control-treated wells. Recycling was measured by comparing the surface receptor immediately after internalization vs. a further period of recycling with agonist washed off and replaced with 10 μM exendin(9-39); and recycling calculated as percentage recovery of surface GLP-1R in the recycling plate vs. surface receptor loss in the internalization plate.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
