Canonical and Alternative Pathways (Insulin and Exercise) of GLUT4 Synthesis, Signaling, Intracellular Clustering, and Recruitment to the Plasma Membrane
2026-03-09
Abstract excerpt
Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), encoded by the SLC2A4 gene, is the final effector of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in insulin-sensitive tissues: skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and cardiac muscle. Its dynamic localization, retained intracellularly under basal conditions and massively translocated to the plasma membrane upon stimulation, makes it a master regulator of glycemic homeostasis. While the canoni...
