Talk:Glucose transporter

Only mammalian transporters??

The article only contains information about mammalian glucose transporters, but they're also present in E. coli, yeast, Arabidopsis etc. Shall we devide this article is sections about procaryotes, plants, fungy etc.? Mismeret (talk) 10:08, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Insulin-insensitive GLUT4

possibility of a insulin-insensitive GLUT4... thought that might be relevant to the article.

"Thus, within this compartment, glucosamine altered subcellular localization of an insulin-insensitive pool of GLUT 4. If glucosamine can alter membrane localization of a GLUT 4 pool not affected by insulin signal transduction, it is reasonable to hypothesize that glucosamine could also affect localization of the insulin-responsive GLUT 4 pool as a mechanism responsible for impaired translocation."

Split GLUT4 article?

I'm considering splitting off GLUT4 into its own article to match the other GLUTs. GLUT4 is currently is a redirect to this article. Any reason I shouldn't do this? Oasisbob 19:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support of splitting off. --Arcadian 15:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
