Glucose enters cells via specific transporters (GLUTs) located in the cell membrane. There are several types of GLUTs, varying in their location (tissue specificity) and in their affinity for glucose.
the SGLTs secondary active Na + /D-glucose co-transporters located at the brush border of tubular cells (SGLT2 and SGLT1) and the GLUTs facilitated diffusion glucose transporters located at the ...
a glucose transporter. Increased intracellular glucose then leads to increased production of ATP, and an increase in the ATP/ADP ratio (1); the increased ATP/ADP ratio leads to closing of the ...
