Abstract excerpt
The SLC45 family emerges as a proton-coupled sugar transport system that complements the classical SGLT (SLC5) and GLUT (SLC2) transporters in mammals. This review synthesizes recent advances on four family members (SLC45A1–A4), covering their structural features (12-pass transmembrane topology with a pH-sensing cytoplasmic loop), genomic organization across chromosomes 1p36.1, 5p13.3, 1q32.1, and 8q24.3, and...
