Difference between GLUT4 and Homeostasis

GLUT4 vs. Homeostasis

Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the SLC2A4 gene. Homeostasis is the tendency of organisms to auto-regulate and maintain their internal environment in a stable state.

Similarities between GLUT4 and Homeostasis

GLUT4 and Homeostasis have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adipocyte, Adipose tissue, Apoptosis, Beta cell, Glucose 6-phosphate, Glycogen, Insulin.

Adipocyte

Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat.

Adipose tissue

In biology, adipose tissue, body fat, or simply fat is a loose connective tissue composed mostly of adipocytes.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis (from Ancient Greek ἀπόπτωσις "falling off") is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.

Beta cell

Beta cells (β cells) are a type of cell found in the pancreatic islets of the pancreas.

Glucose 6-phosphate

Glucose 6-phosphate (sometimes called the Robison ester) is a glucose sugar phosphorylated at the hydroxy group on carbon 6.

Glycogen

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria.

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

The list above answers the following questions

GLUT4 and Homeostasis Comparison

GLUT4 has 54 relations, while Homeostasis has 259. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.24% = 7 / (54 + 259).
