High impact information on SLC2A6

  • GLUT6 was principally detected in testis germinal cells and GLUT9 was localized in kidney, liver, heart, and adrenal [1].
  • Activity and genomic organization of human glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), a novel member of the family of sugar-transport facilitators predominantly expressed in brain and leucocytes [2].
  • Transfection of COS-7 cells with GLUT9 produced expression of a 46-kDa membrane protein which exhibited reconstitutable glucose-transport activity and low-affinity cytochalasin-B binding [2].
  • Expression of GLUT1, GLUT3 and GLUT9 proteins in normal human articular cartilage was confirmed by immunohistochemistry [3].
  • The mouse Glut8 gene spans approximately 9 kb, consists of 10 exons, and is highly similar to the human GLUT6 gene [4].
