| Scientific background: |
Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 8, also known as SLC2A8, is the eighth member of glucose transporter superfamily. It is characterized by the presence of two leucine residues in its N-terminal intracellular domain, which influences intracellular trafficking. This gene is mapped to 9q33.3. Based on sequence comparison, the glucose transporters are grouped into three classes and this gene is a member of class II. It may act as the insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. This gene binds cytochalasin B in a glucose-inhibitable manner. The binds seems to be a dual-specific sugar transporter as it is inhibitable by fructose. |
