Abstract excerpt
Small glucose transporter 4 (Glut4)-containing vesicles represent the major insulin-responsive compartment in fat and skeletal muscle cells. The molecular mechanism of their biogenesis is not yet elucidated. Here, we studied the role of the newly discovered family of monomeric adaptor proteins, GGA (Golgi-localized, gamma-ear-containing, Arf-binding proteins), in the formation of small Glut4 vesicles and...
