Article Synopsis
- GLUT2 is a glucose transporter found in various organs (liver, intestine, kidney, pancreas) that helps maintain glucose balance in the body.
- Live imaging of GLUT2 using a fusion protein allowed researchers to observe its movement in kidney cells, showing it rapidly shifts to the cell surface in response to high glucose levels.
- The study highlights how GLUT2's behavior can inform diabetes treatment, as the apple polyphenol phloretin was found to inhibit its translocation, potentially offering a pathway for drug development.
