Direct demonstration of insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation to the surface of intact cells by insertion of a c-myc epitope into an exofacial GLUT4 domain
1 Jul 1993
Abstract excerpt
Stimulation of glucose transport is the main physiological effect of insulin in target tissues. This effect is linked to translocation of the GLUT4 glucose transporter from an intracellular pool to the cell surface. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in this effect, we developed a simple direct sensitive method to detect GLUT4 immunologically on the cell surface. cDNA containing GLUT4 inserted by a...
