The properties of the glucose-transport systems in rat adipocytes and hepatocytes were compared in cells prepared from the same animals. Hormones and other agents which cause a large stimulation of 3-O-methylglucose transport in adipocytes were without acute effect in hepatocytes. Hepatocytes displayed a lower affinity for 3-O-methylglucose (20 mM) and alternative substrates than adipocytes (6 mM), whereas inhibitor affinities were similar in both cell types. The concentration and distribution of glucose transporters were determined by Scatchard analysis of D-glucose-inhibitable [3H]cytochalasin B binding to subcellular fractions. In liver, most of the transporters were located in the plasma membrane (42 +/- 5 pmol/mg of protein) with a small amount (4 +/- 3 pmol/mg) in the low-density microsomal fraction ('microsomes'), the reverse of the situation in adipocytes. Glucose transporters were covalently labelled with [3H]cytochalasin B by using the photochemical cross-linking agent hydroxysuccinimidyl-4-azidobenzoate and analysed by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. A single D-glucose-inhibitable peak with a molecular mass of 40-50 kDa was seen in both plasma membrane and low-density microsomes. This peak was further characterized by isoelectric focusing and revealed a single peak of specific [3H]cytochalasin B binding at pI 6.05 in both low-density microsomes and plasma membrane, compared with peaks at pI 6.4 and 5.6 in adipocyte membranes. In summary: the glucose-transport system in hepatocytes has a lower affinity and higher capacity than that in adipocytes, and is also not accurately modulated by insulin; the subcellular distribution of glucose transporters in the liver suggests that few intracellular transporters would be available for translocation; the liver transporter has a molecular mass similar to that of the adipocyte transporter; the liver glucose transporter exists as a single charged form (pI 6.05), compared with the multiple forms in adipocytes. This difference in charge could reflect a functionally important difference in molecular structure between the two cell types.
