Abstract
The human erythrocyte-type glucose transporter (GLUT1) has been abundantly expressed in insect cells by using a recombinant baculovirus. At 4 days after infection with the virus, the insect cell-surface and intracellular membranes were found to contain greater than 200 pmol of D-glucose-sensitive binding sites for the transport inhibitor cytochalasin B per mg of protein. The characteristics of binding were identical with those of the erythrocyte transporter, although the two proteins differed substantially in apparent Mr, probably as a result of glycosylation differences.Entities:
