... the study, the researchers discovered how glucose transporter 4 (GLUT 4) carried insulin into fat cells. Previously, scientists had learned that, within the cell, GLUT 4 is contained in the membrane of tiny sacs known as vesicles. Another author of the current study, Samuel Cushman, Ph.D., of NIDDK’s Diabetes ...New polysaccharide may help combat multidrug resistance in cancer
...n increases the cellular production of a multidrug transporter protein by binding to CD44. They discovered that antagonist molecules that bind to hyaluronan and prevent it from interacting with CD44 were able to sensitize multidrug resistant breast cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.

To confirm that glucose transport depends on GLUT1 expression, cells were treated with GLUT1 siRNA and were shown to have reduced levels of serum-stimulated glucose transport. ...Quantitative Analysis of Protein-DNA Associations in Vivo Using Real-Time PCR, Rev A
... a unique set of genes, including insulin, glucose transporter type 2 (Glut2), islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), and glucokinase (GK).
