Description: | Glucose is one of the main energy sources for living organisms, and undoubtedly one of the most important compounds to life. In our body, glucose is the preferred energy resource for most cells. Mechanisms have consequently evolved to regulate its levels in the body. The first and limiting step in glucose metabolism is its transport across the plasma membrane. In eukaryotic cells, this transport is mediated by members of the GLUT protein family that are encoded by the SLC2A genes. They belong to the major facilitator superfamily that counts more than 5000 identified members to date |
