THE MECHANISM OF GLUCOSE TRANSPORTERS THROUGH THE MEMBRANE

This article discusses the mechanisms of membrane transport of glucose transporters. Glucose can be taken up and metabolized in cells. For most mammals, glucose is readily imported by the membrane transporter diff Glut (SLC2A) family facilitators. A person has 14 Glut equipment. For at least half of them, the main physiological substrate is unclear or unknown. Glucose transporter isoforms are Gluts 1-4, which regulate glucose homeostasis and have kinetic planning
