Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the SLC2A4 gene. GLUT4 is the insulin -regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac).
AKT can have a number of downstream effects such as activating CREB, [2] inhibiting p27, [3] localizing FOXO in the cytoplasm, [3] activating PtdIns-3ps, [4] and activating mTOR [3] which can affect transcription of p70 or 4EBP1. [3] There are many known factors that enhance the PI3K/AKT pathway including EGF, [5] shh, [2] IGF-1, [2] insulin ...

The pathway consists of varicose granule cell axons (mossy fibers) that terminate on the dendrites of hilar mossy cells and pyramidal cells in CA3. [4] [13] They form three morphologically different synaptic terminals, which include large mossy terminals, filopodial extensions within the mossy terminals, and small en passant boutons. Each of ...
The PI3K-Akt pathway has many downstream effects and must be carefully regulated. One of the ways the pathway is negatively regulated is by reducing PIP 3 levels. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) antagonises PI3K by converting PI(3,4,5)P 3 into PI(4,5)P 2.
The Entner–Doudoroff pathway (ED Pathway) is a metabolic pathway that is most notable in Gram-negative bacteria, certain Gram-positive bacteria and archaea. [1] Glucose is the substrate in the ED pathway and through a series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions it is catabolized into pyruvate .
"The metabolic pathway of glycolysis converts glucose to pyruvate via a series of intermediate metabolites. Each chemical modification (red box) is performed by a different enzyme. Each chemical modification (red box) is performed by a different enzyme.
In plant leaves, UTP—glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase is a key part of the sucrose biosynthesis pathway, supplying Uridine diphosphate glucose to Sucrose-phosphate synthase which converts UDP-glucose and D-fructose 6-phosphate into sucrose-6-phosphate. [12]
