Anti-GLUT4 Recombinant Rabbit

GLUT4 (Glucose Transporter Type 4) is a vital protein involved in the insulin-regulated transport of glucose into cells, primarily in muscle and adipose tissue. It plays a key role in maintaining blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells in response to insulin. Under normal conditions, GLUT4 is stored in intracellular vesicles and translocates to the cell surface upon insulin stimulation, allowing for efficient glucose uptake. This process is essential for energy storage and metabolism, especially after meals when glucose availability is high. Dysfunction of GLUT4 is associated with conditions like insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, making it an important target for metabolic research.
