The chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) has been shown to relieve endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Therefore, it improves insulin sensitivity and promotes glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle. Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), as a major glucose transporter protein, plays a central role in glucose metabolism. Until now, it has been unclear whether 4-PBA affects GLUT4 gene expression and thus, contributes to glucose metabolism.
