• on transport proteins that are responsible for uptake or release. To date, three main families of eukaryotic transporters have been identified GLUTs, SGLTs, and SWEETs – the most recently discovered sugar transport family, which is responsible for cellular export. In mammals, 14 monosaccharide

• transport proteins GLUTs are responsible for the diffusion of glucose, galactose, fructose, urate, myoinositol, and dehydroascorbic acid. SGLTs are sodium-glucose symporters that couple the transport of glucose to sodium ions. SWEETs have been characterized the most recently. Major carbohydrate transporters
