GLUT2-Mediated Glucose Uptake and Availability Are Required for Embryonic Brain Development in Zebrafish
8 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2; gene name SLC2A2) has a key role in the regulation of glucose dynamics in organs central to metabolism. Although GLUT2 has been studied in the context of its participation in peripheral and central glucose sensing, its role in the brain is not well understood. To decipher the role of GLUT2 in brain development, we knocked down slc2a2 (glut2), the functional ortholog of human GLUT2,...
