High impact information on SLC2A2

  • Expression of mRNAs for the insulin-sensitive muscle/adipose transporter (GLUT-4), brain/fetal skeletal muscle transporter (GLUT-3), or the hepatic transporter (GLUT-2) were not detected in either control or treated cells [1].
  • Glut2 expression was restricted to the period of blastocyst elongation at d14 and d16 [2].
  • Treatment of fetal and adult pancreatic islets with 1 microg/ml bGH did not alter the expression of GLUT-2 mRNAs, but significantly increased GLUT-2 protein levels in adult islets by 50% [3].
  • Taken as a whole, these findings suggest that 1-deoxy-1-[125I]iodo-D-mannoheptulose does not display the same specificity towards GLUT2, as that previously documented in the case of D-[3H]- mannoheptulose [4].
  • GLUT 1 mRNA quantity decreased whereas GLUT 2 increased with age [5].
