General Information
Biological Significance
Most mammalian cells transport glucose through a family of membrane proteins known as glucose transporters. Glut isoforms differ in their tissue expression, substrate specificity and kinetic characteristics. Glut-2 is present in liver, intestine, kidney and betapancreatic islet cells and likely mediates the bidirectional transfer of glucose across the plasma membrane.
