Test:Biochemistry

There are at least four types of glucose transporter in the body. GLUT1 and GLUT3 are located in most tissues including the brain and the red blood cells. These glucose transporters rapidly take up glucose from the blood but have the lowestvalue. GLUT2 is commonly found in the liver and the pancreas. GLUT2 has a lower affinity for glucose but has the highestvalue. GLUT4 is common in skeletal tissues and in adipose tissues. This transporter is normally not active for uptake unless stimulated by insulin or during exercise.
