GTR2_HUMAN (UniProt)

Gene names: SLC2A2, GLUT2
Protein names and data: GTR2_HUMAN, Full=Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 2, Full=Glucose transporter type 2, liver;Short=GLUT-2; Length: 524 a.a., Mass: 57490 Da,
fasta formatted sequence

Function: Facilitative glucose transporter. This isoform likely mediates the bidirectional transfer of glucose across the plasma membrane of hepatocytes and is responsible for uptake of glucose by the beta cells; may comprise part of the glucose-sensing mechanism of the beta cell. May also participate with the Na(+)/glucose cotransporter in the transcellular transport of glucose in the small intestine and kidney
Disease:
Cellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue specificity: Liver, insulin-producing beta cell, small intestine and kidney
