| UniProt functional annotation for P11169 | |||
| UniProt code: P11169. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Facilitative glucose transporter that can also mediate the uptake of various other monosaccharides across the cell membrane (PubMed:9477959, PubMed:26176916). Mediates the uptake of glucose, 2- deoxyglucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and fucose, and probably also dehydroascorbate (PubMed:9477959, PubMed:26176916). Does not mediate fructose transport (PubMed:9477959, PubMed:26176916). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26176916, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9477959}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=D-glucose(out) = D-glucose(in); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:60376, ChEBI:CHEBI:4167; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:26176916, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9477959}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9477959, ECO:0000305|PubMed:26176916}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26176916}. Perikaryon {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07647}. Cell projection {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07647}. Note=Localized to densely spaced patches along neuronal processes. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07647}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Highly expressed in brain. Expressed in many tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3170580}. | |
| Domain: | Transport is mediated via a series of conformation changes, switching between a conformation where the substrate-binding cavity is accessible from the outside, and a another conformation where it is accessible from the cytoplasm. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:26176916}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
