ABSTRACT

The transport of glucose across the plasma membrane of mammalian cells represents one of the most important nutrient transport events since this sugar plays a central role in cellular homeostasis and metabolism. Glucose enters the cells through two types of carrier proteins, the sodium - coupled glucose transporters (SGLT) and glucose transporter facilitators or carriers (GLUT). This review shows the principal molecular, biochemical and functional properties of each transporter.
