Article Synopsis
- Insulin helps transport glucose into cells by moving GLUT4 proteins to the cell's surface, but CSP1 can interfere with this process.
- Over-expressing CSP1 reduces glucose uptake by preventing the GLUT4 vesicles from docking properly, while lowering CSP1 levels improves glucose uptake.
- In insulin-resistant states, such as those caused by high palmitate levels, CSP1's expression increases, indicating its role in disrupting normal GLUT4 function.
