Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- GLUT4 (Glucose Transporter Type 4) is the insulin-dependent glucose transporter. It is primarily found in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac). When insulin binds to its receptor on the cell surface, it triggers a signaling cascade that results in the translocation of GLUT4-containing vesicles to the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter the cell.
