Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) also known as solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 2 (SLC2A2) is a transmembrane carrier protein that enables protein …

Under physiological conditions, GLUT2 transports glucose into cells and allows the glucose concentration to reach balance on the bilateral sides of the cellular membrane; Variation of …

Individuals with a missense mutation in GLUT2 show preference for sugar-containing foods. We will discuss how studies in mice help interpret the role of GLUT2 in human physiology.

GLUT2 acts as a glucose sensor in beta cells of marine organisms, but human beta cells express mainly GLUT1. The function of glucose sensing has two components: (1) entry of glucose into …

Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) is encoded by the SLC2A2 gene that is located on human chromosome 3 and contains 11 exons. Its product is a peptide with 12 membrane-spanning …

May 1, 2009 · Sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) is a target of the inhibitors of glucose reabsorption, but not yet GLUT2. Inactivation of GLUT2 in mice by homologous …

Human GLUT2 and GLUT3, members of the GLUT/SLC2 gene family, facilitate glucose transport in specific tissues. Their malfunction or misregulation is associated with serious diseases, …

Nov 25, 2014 · Genome-wide association studies have reported that GLUT2 variants increase the risks of fasting hyperglycaemia, transition to type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia and …

GLUT2 (SLC2A2) is expressed in the intestine and kidney where it plays an important role in facilitated glucose transport across the basolateral membrane. GLUT3 protein is located …

Jun 26, 2023 · Under physiological conditions, GLUT2 transports glucose into cells and allows the glucose concentration to reach balance on the bilateral sides of the cellular membrane; …
