Potential Role of Sugar Transporters in Cancer and Their Relationship with Anticancer Therapy [PDF]
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2010 Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, are the main energy source of cells. Because of their hydrophilic nature, cells use a number of transporter proteins to introduce sugars through their plasma membrane.

Applied Microbiology and BiotechnologyAbstract Filamentous fungi like Neurospora crassa are able to take up and metabolize important sugars present, for example, in agricultural and human food wastes. However, only a fraction of all putative sugar transporters in filamentous fungi has been characterized to date, and for many sugar substrates, the corresponding ...
