Flow cytometric analysis of insulin expression in human insulin-transfected 293F cells and a mouse insulinoma cell line. LEFT: Untransfected (dashed line histogram) and human insulin-transfected (solid line histogram) 293F cells were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were then washed and stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Insulin (Cat. No. 565689). RIGHT: Mouse Beta-TC-6 cells (ATCC CRL-11506) were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were then washed and stained with either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG1, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 557783, dashed-line histogram) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Insulin (solid line histogram). All fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD Canto™ II flow cytometry system.

Fluorescent staining of insulin in human and mouse islets of Langerhans. Following antigen retrieval with BD Pharmingen™ Retrievagen A Buffer (Cat. No. 550524), sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human (left) and mouse (right) pancreata were stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Insulin (Cat. No. 565689, pseudocolored green). Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 564907, pseudocolored red). The images were captured using an ImageXpress® Micro XLS and merged using MetaXpress® Software (Molecular Devices, LLC).

The T56-706 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to insulin, a member of the insulin family of active peptides. Insulin is an evolutionarily conserved peptide hormone that binds to receptors on target cells (primarily adipose and muscle) to promote the absorption of glucose from the blood, thus regulating fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Insulin is produced by β cells in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. There, the precursor molecule, preproinsulin, is cleaved to proinsulin that is in turn cleaved to form the mature insulin hormone, which is composed of two peptides (A- and B-chains) linked by 2 disulfide bonds. Mature insulin is stored in granules in the β cells and is released to the blood in response to metabolic signals such as glucose, the amino acids arginine and leucine, and acetylcholine. Catecholamines can regulate blood glucose levels by either stimulating or inhibiting the release of insulin from β cells. The expression of insulin can be used to monitor the pancreatic differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.
