General description
The protein called GLUT-4, or more correctly Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4 and encoded by the human gene SLC2A4/GLUT4 is a primary insulin regulated facilitative glucose transporter found primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle, as well as brown and white fat but is also expressed in other tissues such as brain. In the brain GLUT4 is found exclusively in neurons. GLUT-4 is facilitative because it is not always present on the cell plasma membrane. GLUT-4 only localizes to the plasma membrane upon insulin induction. GLUT-4 is localized to the perinuclear region in resting cells. Mutations in GLUT-4 are a cause of one form of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. GLUT4 function as well as its transcriptional regulation is highly conserved throughout the vertebrate species.
Specificity
Glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) is a protein present in rat skeletal muscle, heart and adipose tissues. GLUT-4 is highly conserved between species, and the peptide sequence selected for production of this antibody is identical in rat, human (amino acids 498-510), and mouse. This antibody shows no cross-reactivity of HepG2 type transporter from rat brain or other glucose transporters.

The Zucker fa/fa rat has been widely used as an animal model to study obesity, since it recapitulates most of its behavioral and metabolic dysfunctions, such as hyperphagia, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Although it is well established that olfaction is

In the brain, glucose homeostasis of extracellular fluid is crucial to the point that systems specifically dedicated to glucose sensing are found in areas involved in energy regulation and feeding behavior. Olfaction is a major sensory modality regulating food consumption.
Doxorubicin Induces Inflammatory Modulation and Metabolic Dysregulation in Diabetic Skeletal Muscle.

Frontiers in physiology, 7, 323-323 (2016-08-12)
Anti-cancer agent doxorubicin (DOX) has been demonstrated to worsen insulin signaling, engender muscle atrophy, trigger pro-inflammation, and induce a shift to anaerobic glycolytic metabolism in skeletal muscle. The myotoxicity of DOX in diabetic skeletal muscle remains largely unclear. This study
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I up-regulate GLUT4 gene expression in fetal brown adipocytes, in a phosphoinositide 3-kinase-dependent manner.
