Evolutionary ancestry and novel functions of the mammalian glucose transporter (GLUT) family

BACKGROUND: In general, sugar porters function by proton-coupled symport or facilitative transport modes. Symporters, coupled to electrochemical energy, transport nutrients against a substrate gradient. Facilitative carriers transport sugars along a concentration gradient, thus transport is dependen...
