Abstract excerpt
GLUT1 glucose transporter cDNA was modified to introduce a single amino acid substitution of aspartic acid for asparagine 415, which is conserved among all facilitative glucose transporter isoforms. Although a significant amount of the mutated transporter was expressed into plasma membranes of Chinese hamster ovary cells by transfection with expression vector, almost no increase in glucose transport activity was...
