InnateDB Gene

IDBG-85761 (SLC2A8)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Insulin-regulated facilitative glucose transporter. Binds cytochalasin B in a glucose-inhibitable manner. Seems to be a dual-specific sugar transporter as it is inhibitable by fructose (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Principally intracellular. May move between intracellular vesicles and the plasma membrane. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in testis, but not in testicular carcinoma. Lower amounts present in most other tissues.
