“…Nonetheless, insulin, as well as other growth factors, promote an increase of Glut1 in the plasma membrane of many cell types ( Lawrence et al, 1992 ; Egert et al, 1999 ; Rett et al, 1996 ; Clarke et al, 1994 ). To explore the behavior of Glut1 in adipocytes, we quantified plasma membrane expression using an HA-tagged Glut1 construct, a reporter used previously in studies of Glut1 trafficking ( Chaudhary et al, 2016 ; Takenouchi et al, 2007 ; Lee et al, 2015 ). In cells expressing HA-Glut1, total Glut1 was about four times that in untransfected cells, demonstrating HA-Glut1 was expressed to about three times the level of native Glut1 ( Figure 7—figure supplement 1 ).…”
