| Comments | "For the generation of chimeras, [researchers] chose Hxt1 and Hxt7 because they are the dominating transporters for glucose metabolism and display the lowest and highest glucose affinity, respectively (5). Hxt1 and Hxt7 each have 570 amino acids. They are 72% identical and are predicted to consist of 12 membrane-spanning domains, with the amino and carboxy termini located in the cytosol (primary source)." |
