Gene Symbol: |
Slc2a4 |
Gene ID: |
20528 |
Uniprot ID: |
GLUT4_MOUSE |
Immunogen Region: |
450-509 |
Immunogen: |
Synthetic peptide taken within amino acid region 450-509 on mouse Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4 protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles. Expressed in brown and white adipose tissues. |
Post Translational Modifications | Sumoylated. Palmitoylated. Palmitoylation by ZDHHC7 controls the insulin-dependent translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. |
Function | Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter, which plays a key role in removal of glucose from circulation. Response to insulin is regulated by its intracellular localization: in the absence of insulin, it is efficiently retained intracellularly within storage compartments in muscle and fat cells. Upon insulin stimulation, translocates from these compartments to the cell surface where it transports glucose from the extracellular milieu into the cell. |
