Description:
This gene is a member of the solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter) family and encodes a protein that functions as an insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. In the absence of insulin, this integral membrane protein is sequestered within the cells of muscle and adipose tissue. Within minutes of insulin stimulation, the protein moves to the cell surface and begins to transport glucose across the cell membrane. Mutations in this gene have been associated with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter, which plays a key role in removal of glucose from circulation. Response to insulin is regulated by its intracellular localization: in the absence of insulin, it is efficiently retained intracellularly within storage compartments in muscle and fat cells. Upon insulin stimulation, translocates from these compartments to the cell surface where it transports glucose from the extracellular milieu into the cell.

PTMs:

Sumoylated.

Subcellular Location:

Cell membrane>Multi-pass membrane protein. Endomembrane system>Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm>Perinuclear region.
Note: Localizes primarily to the perinuclear region, undergoing continued recycling to the plasma membrane where it is rapidly reinternalized (PubMed:8300557). The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration (PubMed:8300557). Insulin stimulation induces translocation to the cell membrane (By similarity).

Tissue Specificity:

Skeletal and cardiac muscles; brown and white fat.

Subunit Structure:

Interacts with NDUFA9 (By similarity). Binds to DAXX. Interacts via its N-terminus with SRFBP1. Interacts with TRARG1; the interaction is required for proper SLC2A4 recycling after insulin stimulation (By similarity).

Family&Domains:

The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration.

Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.
