Journal ArticleDOI
How to study proteins by circular dichroism
TL;DR: The basis of the CD approach and its application to the study of proteins, and clear guidelines on how reliable data can be obtained and analysed are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of human glucose transporters in Xenopus oocytes: kinetic characterization and substrate specificities of the erythrocyte, liver, and brain isoforms.
TL;DR: It is shown that, for all transporters, the transport of 2-deoxy-D-glucose is inhibited by D-but not by L- glucose, and both D-galactose and D-mannose are transported by GLUTs 1-3 at significant rates; furthermore, GLUT 2 is capable of transporting D-fructose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic analysis of the liver-type (GLUT2) and brain-type (GLUT3) glucose transporters in Xenopus oocytes: substrate specificities and effects of transport inhibitors.
TL;DR: It is shown here that cytochalasin B is also a non-competitive inhibitor of the transport of deoxyglucose and alternative substrates by GLUT2 and GLUT3 expressed in oocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunological analysis of glucose transporters expressed in different regions of the rat brain and central nervous system.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GLUT 1 and GLUT 3 are expressed in virtually all regions of the brain examined, but that the relative levels of the proteins differ, and thatGLUT 2 appears to be widely expressed in all brain regions, but at apparently low levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The regulation of GLUT5 and GLUT2 activity in the adaptation of intestinal brush-border fructose transport in diabetes

TL;DR: Differences in stereospecificity between GLUT2 and GLUT5 were used to show that both transporters contributed to the overall enhancement of D-fructose transport measured in brush-border membrane vesicles and in vitro isolated loops from diabetic rats, however, overall D- fructose uptake in vivo was diminished.
