Summary: SLC2A12 belongs to a family of transporters that catalyze the uptake of sugars through facilitated diffusion (Rogers et al., 2002). This family of transporters show conservation of 12 transmembrane helices as well as functionally significant amino acid residues (Joost and Thorens, 2001 [PubMed 11780753]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

GLUT12 rapid translocation to the enterocytes apical membrane in response to glucose and insulin could be related to GLUT12 participation in sugar absorption during postprandial periods. In the pathological condition of obesity, in which insulin sensitivity is reduced, the contribution of GLUT12 to sugar absorption would be affected.

GLUT12 is a versatile transporter: it transports a wide diversity of hexoses, it can work as a Na+ or H+/glucose symporter, and it shows electrogenic properties.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
