GlycoErase™ SLC2A4 Knockout HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF714)

Description	GlycoErase™ SLC2A4 knockout HepG2 cell line removes SLC2A4 (GLUT4), which mediates insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipose and muscle cells. Its deletion disrupts insulin responsiveness, providing a platform to study insulin resistance, glucose transport regulation, and type 2 diabetes pathophysiology, with applications in liver metabolism and diabetes research.

Target	SLC2A4
Full Name	Solute Carrier Family 2 Member 4
Alternative Name	GLUT4
Location	17p13.1
Gene ID	6517
Summary	This GLUT family member encodes an insulin-sensitive glucose transporter. In muscle and fat cells, it resides intracellularly until insulin signals it to move to the plasma membrane for glucose uptake. Mutations are linked to type 2 diabetes.
