Interactions with insulin (IRS-1) and subsequent binding/phosphorylation. This leads to an increase in the glucose transporter (Glut-4) which has a high affinity for glucose molecules. This occurs mainly in muscle and adipose tissues where glucose uptake is most needed. This increase in Glut-4 causes an increase in glucose uptake from blood. Simply stated, 2dtg is activated by insulin which signals for an increase in Glut-4. Glut-4 finds its way to the cell surface where it can perform its function (transport glucose into the cell). | Interactions with insulin (IRS-1) and subsequent binding/phosphorylation.
