Evidence:Substrate In Vitro Evidence: 1. GLUT12 facilitates transport of glucose (D-glucose>D-galactose>D-fructose>L-glucose) in the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system. Rogers, S et al. Biochem Biophys Res Comm 2003 Aug 29, 308(3):422-6. Tissue Distribution Evidence: 1. Cloned from MCF7 breast cancer cell line. Also expressed in invasive human breast tumors (IHC, RT-PCR). Rogers, S. et al. Cancer Lett 2003 Apr 25, 193(2):225-33 PMID 12706881. 2. Two-step RT-PCR demonstrated expression of mouse GLUT12 in murine adipose tissue (although no expression in NIH3T3 cells). Human GLUT12 was found in human adipose tissue. Wood, IS; Hunter, L; Trayhurn, P. Biochem Biophys Res Comm 2003 Aug 15, 308(1):43-9 PMID 12890477. 3. Immunohistology studies demonstrated a dynamic spatial and temporal expression pattern for GLUT12 in human placenta. Gude, NM et al. Placenta 2003 May, 24(5):566-70 PMID 12744934.
