Monosaccharides enter cells by slow translipid bilayer diffusion by rapid, protein-mediated,
cation-dependent cotransport and by rapid, protein-mediated equilibrative transport. This …

The facilitated diffusion of glucose, galactose, fructose, urate, myoinositol, and
dehydroascorbic acid in mammals is catalyzed by a family of 14 monosaccharide transport …

The brain uptake of solutes is efficiently governed by the blood− brain barrier (BBB). The
BBB expresses a number of carrier-mediated transport mechanisms, and new knowledge of …

OBJECTIVE—To determine whether interindividual heterogeneity in the erythrocyte (red
blood cell [RBC]) transmembrane glucose gradient might explain discordances between …

On a three-dimensional templated model of GLUT1 (Protein Data Bank code 1SUK), a
molecular recognition program, AUTODOCK 3, reveals nine hexose-binding clusters …

Cytoplasmic ATP inhibits human erythrocyte glucose transport protein (GLUT1)–mediated
glucose transport in human red blood cells by reducing net glucose transport but not …

Carbohydrates in the diet are digested in the small intestine to glucose, galactose, and
fructose, and these sugars are then absorbed by enterocytes lining the upper third of the …

Recent structural studies suggest that GLUT1 (glucose transporter 1)-mediated sugar
transport is mediated by an alternating access transporter that successively presents …

Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is the primary glucose transport protein of the cardiovascular
system and astroglia. A recent study proposes that caffeine uncompetitive inhibition of …

The glucose transporter GLUT2 has been shown to also transport water. In the present
paper we investigated the relation between sugar and water transport in human GLUT2 …
