Regulation of Glut-4 Expression in Skeletal Muscle cells: The Roles of Nuclear Respiratory Factor-1 and calcium/calmodulin dependent protein Kinase
GLUT4 protein is the major glucose transporter in skeletal muscle and is vital in the maintenance of euglycemia (17; 108). Underexpression of GLUT4 or impairement of its translocation from intracellular compartments to the cell surface, are linked to diminished glucose transport, hyperglycemia and t...
