Timber identification that is both quick and accurate is essential -today- for preventing the entry of illegal wood products into global supply chains. The XyloTron is an affordable, field-portable wood species identification system designed to assist users (governmental, commercial, scientific) worldwide in identifying wood species with an ...
Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the SLC2A4 gene. GLUT4 is the insulin -regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac).
InsideWood is an online resource and database for wood anatomy, serving as a reference, research, and teaching tool. Wood anatomy is a sub-area within the discipline of wood science . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This freely accessible database is purely scientific and noncommercial.
TUG releases the GLUT4 containing vesicles (GSVs) in response to insulin stimulation which allows it to move to the plasma membrane. [2] TUG has an N-terminal ubiquitin-like protein domain (UBL1) which in similar proteins appears to participate in protein-protein interactions. [2]
GLUT4 has a Km value for glucose of about 5 mM, which as stated above is the normal blood glucose level in healthy individuals. GLUT4 is the most abundant glucose transporter in skeletal muscle and is thus considered to be rate limiting for glucose uptake and metabolism in resting muscles. [ 8 ]

Recycling codes on products. Recycling codes are used to identify the materials out of which the item is made, to facilitate easier recycling process.The presence on an item of a recycling code, a chasing arrows logo, or a resin code, is not an automatic indicator that a material is recyclable; it is an explanation of what the item is made of.
The Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) is the national research laboratory of the United States Forest Service, which is part of USDA.Since its opening in 1910, the FPL has provided scientific research on wood, wood products and their commercial uses in partnership with academia, industry, tribal, state, local and other government agencies.
