Insulin-sensitive targeting of the GLUT4 glucose transporter in L6 myoblasts is conferred by its COOH-terminal cytoplasmic tail

The GLUT4 glucose transporter appears to be targeted to a unique insulin-sensitive intracellular membrane compartment in fat and muscle cells. Insulin stimulates glucose transport in these cell types by mediating the partial redistribution of GLUT4 from this intracellular compartment to the plasma m...
