Role of monosaccharide transport proteins in carbohydrate assimilation, distribution, metabolism, and homeostasis. [PDF]
Compr Physiol, 2012 AbstractThe facilitated diffusion of glucose, galactose, fructose, urate, myoinositol, and dehydroascorbic acid in mammals is catalyzed by a family of 14 monosaccharide transport proteins called GLUTs. These transporters may be divided into three classes according to sequence similarity and function/substrate specificity.

Monosaccharide transport in protein-depleted vesicles from erythrocyte membranes.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1977 Treatment of human erythrocyte membranes with dilute alkali (pH 11.5) generates sealed, protein-depleted vesicles that can be isolated by density gradient centrifugation. The vesicles are 0.5 to 2.0 micrometers in diameter, and their membranes are predominantly oriented inside-out.

O-GlcNAc Dynamics: The Sweet Side of Protein Trafficking Regulation in Mammalian Cells
Cells, 2023 The transport of proteins between the different cellular compartments and the cell surface is governed by the secretory pathway. Alternatively, unconventional secretion pathways have been described in mammalian cells, especially through multivesicular ...
