We have proposed a new model of intestinal sugar absorption in which high sugar concentrations promote rapid insertion of the facilitative transporter GLUT2 into the brush-border membrane so that absorptive capacity is precisely regulated to match dietary intake during the assimilation of a meal. However, location of GLUT2 at the brush border by immunocytochemistry has been problematical. We report that control of rapid GLUT2 trafficking and the use of an antibody to a sequence within the large extracellular loop of GLUT2 permits localization of GLUT2 at the brush border. To reveal brush-border GLUT2 fully, it is necessary to digest the sugar chain at the glycosylation site close to the antigenic site. In this way, we have demonstrated by immunocytochemistry PKC-dependent changes in the regulation of brush-border GLUT2 in rat jejunum that correspond to those seen by Western blotting. The functional and immunocytochemical data are now reconciled.
