Following a meal, insulin secretion from the pancreas facilitates the removal of glucose ... transport events that need to be modified to divert GLUT4 from intracellular storage to an active ...

The glucose transporter GLUT4 facilitates insulin ... aided in pinpointing some of the steps that regulate GLUT4 cycling. Active TC10 interacts with effector proteins that regulate GLUT4 vesicle ...

Now glucose cannot move into the blood by diffusion. This is against a concentration gradient, so it will not happen naturally. Animals therefore use active transport to absorb glucose into the ...

Active transport is used by cells to accumulate needed molecules such as glucose and amino acids. Active transport powered by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as primary active transport.

Active transport or diffusion then occurs across the root so that the plant transports the ions it needs from the soil around it. In animals, glucose molecules have to be moved across the gut wall ...
