Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed at variable levels in many human tissues.
Post Translational Modifications
Phosphorylation at Ser-226 by PKC promotes glucose uptake by increasing cell membrane localization.
Function
Facilitative glucose transporter, which is responsible for constitutive or basal glucose uptake. Has a very broad substrate specificity.can transport a wide range of aldoses including both pentoses and hexoses. Most important energy carrier of the brain: present at the blood-brain barrier and assures the energy-independent, facilitative transport of glucose into the brain. In association with BSG and NXNL1, promotes retinal cone survival by increasing glucose uptake into photoreceptors. Required for mesendoderm differentiation.
