 New protein provides clue to diabetes
While most glucose transporters reside at the cell surface, GLUT4 is usually deep inside the cell, only moving to the surface when insulin sends a signal.
When insulin reaches the cell surface, it signals TUG to release GLUT4, which then moves to the cell surface to allow glucose absorption.
Lodish proposes that discovering this key component of the GLUT4 pathway is a significant clue for possibly identifying a diabetes drug target.

 And Then There Was GLUT4: Tackling Diabetes At The Molecular Level
Thus it could be seen that GLUT4 is an especially key component of the body’s metabolic network; not only is it responsible for glucose intake in individual tissues, but it also affects the activity of organs in which it is not even found.
Second, it serves to remind us that the body is not merely an amalgam of individual systems, each isolated to their own specific tasks, but instead it is a complex network of dazzling interactions—it is a universe that continually reveals new surprises, applications, and challenges.
Essentially, the mice missing one or both copies of the GLUT4 gene suffered from insulin resistance—a condition that is well-recognized as a symptom of type II diabetes.
