The insulin-regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose and striated muscle tissues is:

  1. GLUT-1

  2. GLUT-2

  3. GLUT-3

  4. GLUT-4

The correct answer is: GLUT-4

The insulin-regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose and striated muscle tissues is GLUT-4. This is because the other options (GLUT-1, GLUT-2, and GLUT-3) are found in other tissues and have different functional roles. GLUT-1 is found in red blood cells and the blood-brain barrier, GLUT-2 is found in the liver and pancreas, and GLUT-3 is found in the brain. Therefore, GLUT-4 is the only option that fits the specific criteria given in the question.
