Reaction: Transport of Extracellular Glucose to the Cytosol by GLUT1 and GLUT2
- in pathway: Regulation of insulin secretion
Human pancreatic beta cells express glucose transporters 1 and (GLUT1, GLUT2), which are responsible for uptake of glucose from the extracellular medium into the cytosol. (Rodent pancreatic beta cells express only Glut2.)
