Q

Action steps of GLUT 4 (6)

A
  1. Insulin binds to extracellular receptor
  2. GLUT 4 translocation from Golgi to plasma membrane
  3. Vesicle containing GLUT 4 binds and fuses to plasma membrane
  4. Glucose transport allowed in response to insulin
  5. Insulin dissociates from receptors (inactivation)
  6. Vesicles containing GLUT 4 translocated back to Golgi for storage
