Brief description A major function of skeletal muscles is the import of glucose from the blood to provide energy for contraction. We have identified a novel structure within muscle cells defined by the protein tropomyosin that is involved in this essential muscle function and potentially provides new targets for treatment of diseases of altered glucose clearance (eg diabetes and obesity).
