Overview

Glucose signaling refers to the molecular processes by which cells sense the amount of glucose available and adjust their behaviour accordingly. Specialized sensor proteins, receptors, and enzymes detect changes in glucose levels and trigger pathways that regulate the uptake, storage, and breakdown of glucose, as well as broader decisions about growth, energy use, and gene expression. In multicellular organisms, glucose signaling is closely tied to hormones such as insulin and glucagon, which coordinate the responses of the liver, muscle, fat, and other tissues to keep blood glucose within a narrow range. Because glucose signaling governs how cells obtain and manage their primary fuel, its disruption is central to disorders such as diabetes, obesity, and certain cancers, and it intersects with hormonal regulation and energy balance more broadly. These themes fall within the journal's scope on Glycomics And Metabolism, which covers the sensing, transport, and utilization of sugars in health and disease. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to glucose signaling and the cellular and hormonal control of glucose homeostasis.
