lüll Transcriptional regulation of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 gene: from physiology to pathology Karnieli E; Armoni MAm J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2008[Jul]; 295 (1): E38-45The insulin-responsive glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) plays a key role in glucose uptake and metabolism in insulin target tissues. Being a rate-limiting step in glucose metabolism, the expression and function of the GLUT4 isoform has been extensively studied and found to be tightly regulated at both mRNA and protein levels. Adaptation to states of enhanced metabolic demand is associated with increased glucose metabolism and GLUT4 gene expression, whereas states of insulin resistance such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), obesity, and aging are associated with impaired regulation of GLUT4 gene expression and function. The present review focuses on the interplay among hormonal, nutritional, and transcription factors in the regulation of GLUT4 transcription in health and sickness.|Animals[MESH]|Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Gene Expression Regulation/*physiology[MESH]|Glucose Transporter Type 4/biosynthesis/*genetics[MESH]|Glucose/*metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Obesity/*genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Physical Fitness/physiology[MESH]|Transcription Factors/physiology[MESH]|Transcription, Genetic/*physiology[MESH] |
