GLUT4 activator 2 (C59) is an insulin sensitizer, which can be used for research of diabetic diseases. GLUT4 activator 2 improves glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity in rodents. GLUT4 activator 2 interacts with Unc119 and Unc119B resulting in increased insulin sensitivity and GLUT4 translocation.
