Use of mild detergent gel electrophoresis for isolation and characterization of the kidney brush border D-glucose transporter.
Gradient gel electrophoresis was performed under mild detergent conditions to separate pig kidney brush border membrane proteins and to identify the smallest functional molecular protein entity of the D-glucose transporter. The various protein bands obtained from the nondenaturing gel system in a semipreparative scale were eluted by electrodialysis. These proteins were then reintegrated into proteoliposomes and tested for D-glucose-inhibitable [3H]phlorizin binding. The D-glucose transporter had a molecular mass of 70 kDa in mild detergent electrophoresis conditions and in subsequent SDS analysis.
