basic FUNCTION
| facilitated glucose transporter, probably a neuronal glucose transporter |
|
has a predominant role during cardiac development |
|
is the main glucose transporter responsible for transplacental transport of maternal glucose, thereby controlling the rate at which glucose is delivered to the fetus |
|
is essential for the development of early post-implanted embryos |
|
is of greater importance for glucose uptake early in gestation |
|
hypoxia-induced increases in glucose uptake through SLC2A3 are important for lipid synthesis in macrophages, and may contribute to foam cell formation in hypoxic regions of atherosclerotic lesions |
|
neuronal glucose transporter, contributing to glucose uptake and proliferation of lung tumor cells that have undergone an EMT |
