Anti-Glucose Transporter GLUT4/SLC2A4 Antibody Picoband® fluoro594 Vervoeging

Facilitated glucose transport by mammalian cells is not a property of a single protein but an activity associated with a family of structurally related proteins. Glucose transporter 4 is a insulin-responsive glucose transporter. It belongs to solute carrier family 2, member 1. Insulin alters the subcellular localization of GLUT4 vesicles in human muscle, and that this effect is impaired equally in insulin-resistant subjects with and without diabetes. A similar pattern of defects cause insulin resistance in human adipocytes.Human insulin resistance involves a defect in GLUT4 traffic and targeting leading to accumulation in a dense membrane compartment from which insulin is unable to recruit GLUT4 to the cell surface.

Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4

Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Endomembrane system ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cytoplasm, perinuclear region . Localizes primarily to the perinuclear region, undergoing continued recycling to the plasma membrane where it is rapidly reinternalized. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration.

Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.
