You know what, when I first started at my career, when I made Transporter 1, I can remember I did like 99% of the driving, and there was so much on my plate.
When activated, the insulin receptors cause vesicles containing glucose transporter that are inside the cell to fuse with the cell membrane, allowing glucose to be transported into the cell.
Because glucose (carbohydrate) and vitamin C are structured similarly, they actually compete for glucose transporters, so too much glucose can inhibit vitamin C transport.
为葡萄糖(碳水化物)和维生素 C 的化学结构类似,实际上它们会争夺葡萄糖转运蛋白,此过多的葡萄糖会抑制维生素 C 的吸收。
That gene encodes for an ion transporter, and mutations in that transporter cause the pancreatic secretions to become thick and sticky, leading to obstruction of the ducts.
