A tale of two glucose transporters: how GLUT2 re-emerged as a contender for glucose transport into the human beta cell.

Abstract excerpt

Finding novel causes for monogenic forms of diabetes is important as, alongside the clinical implications of such a discovery, it can identify critical proteins and pathways required for normal beta cell function in humans. It is increasingly apparent that there are significant differences between rodent and human islets. One example that has generated interest is the relative importance of the glucose...
