| Function |
Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21907143}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21907143}. Endomembrane system {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250}. Note=Localizes primarily to the perinuclear region, undergoing continued recycling to the plasma membrane where it is rapidly reinternalized. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
