Most mammalian cells transport glucose through a family of membrane proteins known as glucose transporters.
Molecular cloning of these glucose transporters has identified a family of closely related genes that encodes at least 7 proteins (Glut-1 to Glut-13, Mol.
Wt.
40-80kD) and Sodium glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1, 662aa; ~75kD).
Individual member of this family have identical predicted secondary structures with 12 transmembrane domains.
Both N- and C-termini are predicted to be cytoplasmic.
Most differences in sequence homology exist within the four hydrophilic domains that may play a role in tissue-specific targeting.
Glut isoforms differ in their tissue expression, substrate specificity and kinetic characteristics.
Glut-1 mediates glucose transport into red cells, and throughout the blood brain barrier, and supply glucose to most cells.
Glut-2 provides glucose to the liver and pancreatic cells.
Glut-3 is the main transporter in neurons, whereas Glut-4 (mouse/human 509aa) is primarily expressed in muscle and adipose tissue and regulated by insulin.
