Alternate Names for Glut4 Antibody (1F8) [Alexa Fluor® 647]

• Glut4
• GLUT-4
• GLUT4Glucose transporter type 4, insulin-responsive
• insulin-responsive glucose transporter type 4
• SLC2A4
• solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 4

Background

Glut4 belongs to the facilitative glucose transporter protein family that comprises 13 members. It is an integral membrane protein with 12 transmembrane domains. Glut4 is expressed in the insulin-responsive tissues, muscle and adipose tissue. Insulin stimulation leads to translocation of Glut4 from intracellular stores to the cell surface resulting in the enhancement of glucose uptake.
