|
Function |
Facilitative glucose transporter. This isoform may be responsible for constitutive or basal glucose uptake. Has a very broad substrate specificity; can transport a wide range of aldoses including both pentoses and hexoses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18245775, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19449892}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Melanosome. Note=Localizes primarily at the cell surface. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Detected in erythrocytes (at protein level). Expressed at variable levels in many human tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23219802}.
