Identification and isolation of glycoproteins that translocate to the cell surface from GLUT4-enriched vesicles in an insulin-dependent fashion.

K Kandror, PF Pilch - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994 - ASBMB
It has previously been shown that in fat cells, the intracellular reservoir of the glucose
transporter isoform GLUT4 consists of a membrane vesicle population highly enriched in this
transporter (approximately 15% of the protein content) that has a relatively simple protein
pattern as revealed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining (Zorzano,
A., Wilkinson, W., Kotliar, N., Thoidis, G., Wadzinski, BE, Ruoho, AE, and Pilch, PF (1989) J.
