How does glucose get into the cell? (Section 2)

Question 1

GLUT-4

Answer 1

insulin-regulated glucose transport protein found in adipose tissue of skeletal and cardiac muscle

Question 2

How does glucose get into the cell?

Answer 2

GLUT-4 transports glucose to enter cell
Insulin triggers translocation
Once GLUT-4 is on cell membrane, it escorts glucose into cell.

During exercise, glucose cell channels open around the cell, allowing more glucose into cell; resulting in less glucose in the blood
