The process of GLUT4 trafficking is central to the metabolic regulation of blood glucose levels. In both muscle and adipose cells, the insulin hormone triggers the mobilisation of intracellular ...

A team of bioengineers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has developed a form of “smart” insulin that can respond to changing blood glucose levels and so prevent potentially fatal ...

A group of researchers led by Kazuya Kikuchi, professor at the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, clarified the role of a N-glycan chain on glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) by ...
