Additional Information

The parental L6 myoblast cell line has been transfected with GLUT4 cDNA to give the Immortalized Rat Skeletal Myoblast Cell line (L6). The cells display a myoblast morphology and retain the potential to differentiate. In the plasma membrane, GLU4 is responsible for the activation of glucose transportation by insulin. The Immortalized Rat Skeletal Myoblast Cell line (L6) has been used to study glucose transport systems and is suitable for research pertaining to muscle physiology and metabolism.
