GlycoErase™ SLC2A4 Knockout Glycoengineered Cell (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF74)

Description	GlycoErase™ SLC2A4 knockout glycoengineered cell targets GLUT4, the insulin-regulated glucose transporter in muscle and adipose tissue. It translocates to the plasma membrane in response to insulin. Mutations link to type 2 diabetes. This model supports research into glucose uptake, insulin signaling, and metabolic disease.

Target	SLC2A4
Full Name	Solute Carrier Family 2 Member 4
Alternative Name	GLUT4
Location	17p13.1
Gene ID	6517
Summary	This gene is a member of the solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter) family and encodes a protein that functions as an insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. In the absence of insulin, this integral membrane protein is sequestered within the cells of muscle and adipose tissue. Within minutes of insulin stimulation, the protein moves to the cell surface and begins to transport glucose across the cell membrane. Mutations in this gene have been associated with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
