Abstract excerpt
Glucose transporter 8 (GLUT8) is a class III sugar transport facilitator predominantly expressed in testis and insulin-regulated tissues. Here we describe its genomic organization, the identification of its promoter region, and the regulation of its expression in 3T3-L1 cells. The mouse Glut8 gene spans approximately 9 kb, consists of 10 exons, and is highly similar to the human GLUT6 gene. Its 5'-flanking region...
