Descriptor English: Glucose Transporter Type 4
Descriptor Spanish: Transportador de Glucosa de Tipo 4
Descriptor transportador de glucosa de tipo 4
Scope note: Proteína de transporte de glucosa que se encuentra en las CÉLULAS MUSCULARES maduras y en los ADIPOCITOS. Promueve el transporte de glucosa desde la SANGRE a los TEJIDOS diana. La forma inactiva de la proteína se localiza en las VESÍCULAS CITOPLASMÁTICAS. En respuesta a la INSULINA se transloca a la MEMBRANA PLASMÁTICA, donde facilita la recaptación de glucosa.

Scope note: 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.
