Talk:Glucose transporter

Only mammalian transporters??
The article only contains information about mammalian glucose transporters, but they're also present in E. coli, yeast, Arabidopsis etc. Shall we devide this article is sections about procaryotes, plants, fungy etc.? Mismeret (talk) 10:08, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Insulin-insensitive GLUT4
possibility of a insulin-insensitive GLUT4... thought that might be relevant to the article.

"Thus, within this compartment, glucosamine altered subcellular localization of an insulin-insensitive pool of GLUT 4. If glucosamine can alter membrane localization of a GLUT 4 pool not affected by insulin signal transduction, it is reasonable to hypothesize that glucosamine could also affect localization of the insulin-responsive GLUT 4 pool as a mechanism responsible for impaired translocation."

Split GLUT4 article?
I'm considering splitting off GLUT4 into its own article to match the other GLUTs. GLUT4 is currently is a redirect to this article. Any reason I shouldn't do this? Oasisbob 19:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong support of splitting off. --Arcadian 15:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Sodium-glucose transport proteins
The article "Sodium-glucose transport proteins" says that they (Sodium-glucose transport protiens) "are a family of glucose transporter". Is that correct? - because I don't see any of them listed under "Types" in this article. If they are (glucose transporters), did I miss something? Would it be worthwhile to clarify these things in this article? lifeform (talk) 00:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

There is some ambiguity on this issue. Top of article explicitly states GLUTs are uniporters, while this section discusses Na+-glucose co-transport. Clarification is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.238.224.23 (talk) 09:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Glut 14 location
What exactly is testicular optic canals? Grillswills (talk) 04:05, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

link to SGLT3 page (SLC5A4)
Should the SGLT3 page (SLC5A4)be linked to and from this page also, although considered a sensor of glucose absorption, so maybe need another page or explanation of this.
