Facilitative glucose transporter. Can also mediate the uptake of various other monosaccharides across the cell membrane. Mediates the uptake of glucose, 2-deoxyglucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and fucose, and probably also dehydroascorbate. Does not mediate fructose transport. Required for mesendoderm differentiation (By similarity).
Subcellular locations: Cell membrane, Perikaryon, Cell projection
Localized to densely spaced patches along neuronal processes.
