English
:
A
glucose
transport protein found in mature
MUSCLE CELLS
and
ADIPOCYTES
. It promotes transport of
glucose
from the BLOOD into target
TISSUES
. The inactive form of the protein is localized in
CYTOPLASMIC VESICLES
. In response to
INSULIN
, it is translocated to the
PLASMA
MEMBRANE where it facilitates
glucose
uptake.
