Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) also known as solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 2 (SLC2A2) is a transmembrane carrier protein that enables protein facilitated glucose movement across cell membranes. It is the principal transporter for transfer of glucose between liver and blood, and has a role in renal glucose reabsorption. It is also capable of transporting fructose. Unlike GLUT4, it does not rely on insulin for facilitated diffusion. In humans, this protein is encoded by the ''SLC2A2'' gene. == Tissue distribution == GLUT2 is found in cellular membranes of: * liver (Primary) * pancreatic β cell (Primary) * hypothalamus (Not overly significant) * basolateral membrane of small intestine and apical GLUT2 is also suggested. * basolateral membrane of renal tubular cells 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「GLUT2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
