An Insulin-Like Modular Basis for the Evolution of Glucose Transporters (GLUT) with Implications for Diabetes
Glucose transporters (GLUT) are twelve-transmembrane spanning proteins that contain two pores capable of transporting glucose and dehydroascorbate in and out of cells. The mechanism by which transport is effected is unknown. An evolutionarily-based hypothesis for the mechanism of glucose transport i...
