Abstract excerpt
The glucose transporter isoform GLUT4 is found only in cells that exhibit insulin-sensitive glucose transport. To investigate the function of this transporter, L6 myoblasts were stably transfected with GLUT4 cDNA. GLUT4 underwent insulin-dependent movement to the cell surface in myoblasts overexpressing the transporter. One cell line (243-6) expressed sufficient levels of the GLUT4 protein to study...
