Question:

Which of the following glucose transporters is insulin-dependent?

GLUT I

GLUT II

GLUT IV

GLUT III

Solution:

Correct option is GLUT IV. GLUT-IV glucose transporter is insulin-dependent and is responsible for most of the glucose transport into muscles and adipose cells in anabolic conditions. Whereas GLUT-I is insulin-independent and is widely distributed in different tissues. So, the correct answer is 'GLUT IV'.
