- Membrane Transporter Protein, Receptor Tyrosine Kinase, G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR)
01
Overview
The term "glucose receptor" encompasses several key proteins involved in glucose homeostasis, including glucose transporters (GLUTs and SGLTs) responsible for cellular glucose uptake, the insulin receptor mediating insulin's effects, and glucagon and GLP-1 receptors that regulate blood sugar via hormonal signaling. These proteins play crucial roles in maintaining glucose balance and are important targets for treating metabolic disorders like diabetes.
