Which of the following type of glucose transpoer is present in the skeletal muscle and adipose tissue?
GLUT 4 receptors are present in hea, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. It's function is to mediated insulin stimulated glucose uptake. Types of major glucose transpoers: Tissue Location Functions GLUT 1 Brain, kidney, colon, placenta, erythrocytes Glucose uptake GLUT 2 Liver, pancreatic beta cell, small intestine, kidney Rapid uptake or release of glucose GLUT 3 Brain, kidney, placenta Glucose uptake GLUT 4 Hea and skeletal muscle, adipose tissue Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake GLUT 5 Small intestine Absorption of glucose Ref: Bender D.A., Mayes P.A.
