Funded Activity Summary

Defective import of glucose from the blood into fat and muscle is a key cause of adult-onset diabetes. We have identified a novel mechanical structure within muscle and fat cells defined by the protein tropomyosin that is involved in glucose import and potentially provides new targets for treatment of adult-onset diabetes and obesity.
