Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Glucose transporters are integral membrane proteins that mediate the transport of glucose and structurally-related substances across cellular membranes. Two families of glucose transporter have been identified: the facilitated-diffusion glucose transporter family (GLUT family), also known as ′uniporters,′ and the sodium-dependent glucose transporter family (SGLT family), also known as ′cotransporters′ or ′symporters′ (Wright et al., 1994 [PubMed 7823022]). The SLC5A1 gene encodes a protein that is involved in the active transport of glucose and galactose into eukaryotic and some prokaryotic cells.[supplied by OMIM_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ SLC5A1 (AAI46581.1, 1 a.a. ~ 664 a.a) full-length human protein._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ MDSSTWSPKTTAVTRPVETHELIRNAADISIIVIYFVVVMAVGLWAMFSTNRGTVGGFFLAGRSMVWWPIGASLFASNIGSGHFVGLAGTGAASGIAIGGFEWNALVLVVVLGWLFVPIYIKAGVVTMPEYLRKRFGGQRIQVYLSLLSLLLYIFTKISADIFSGAIFINLALGLNLYLAIFLLLAITALYTITGGLAAVIYTDTLQTVIMLVGSLILTGFAFHEVGGYDAFMEKYMKAIPTIVSDGNTTFQEKCYTPRADSFHIFRDPLTGDLPWPGFIFGMSILTLWYWCTDQVIVQRCLSAKNMSHVKGGCILCGYLKLMPMFIMVMPGMISRILYTEKIACVVPSECEKYCGTKVGCTNIAYPTLVVELMPNGLRGLMLSVMLASLMSSLTSIFNSASTLFTMDIYAKVRKRASEKELMIAGRLFILVLIGISIAWVPIVQSAQSGQLFDYIQSITSYLGPPIAAVFLLAIFWKRVNEPGAFWGLILGLLIGISRMITEFAYGTGSCMEPSNCPTIICGVHYLYFAIILFAISFITIVVISLLTKPIPDVHLYRLCWSLRNSKEERIDLDAEEENIQEGPKETIEIETQVPEKKKGIFRRAYDLFCGLEQHGAPKMTEEEEKAMKMKMTDTSEKPLWRTVLNVNGIILVTVAVFCHAYFA_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4
