PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • twelve putative membrane spanning helices
  • a highly conserved hydrophobic motif in the exofacial vestibule of fructose transporting SLC2A proteins (and SLC2A11) acts as a critical determinant of their substrate selectivity
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to C.elegans Lin-11
    intraspecies homolog to GLUTS
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • sugar transporter family
  • glucose transporter subfamily
  • CATEGORY transport carrier

    text expressed exclusively in slow-twitch muscle fibres and is unaffected by physiological and pathophysiological conditions except in primary myopathy
    basic FUNCTION
  • facilitative glucose transporter,involved in cell-mediated immunity, immunoregulation, and inflammation
  • activities of the enigmatic transporters SLC2A8 and SLC2A11 are required for proliferation and viability in myeloma, albeit because of functionalities probably distinct from whole-cell glucose supply
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS facilitated diffusion transport
