Glucose Transporter (GLUT) How Does it Work

The video explains the glucose transporter system, focusing on facilitated diffusion. It introduces the GLUT transporters, which move glucose down its concentration gradient without energy input. The process involves glucose binding to a transporter protein, causing a conformational change that allows glucose to exit the cell. Different GLUT transporters serve various functions in different cell types, such as muscle and liver cells.
