Hippocampal mRNA abundance of GLUT8 decreases with age in males and females
Title: Chronic stress modulates regional cerebral glucose transporter expression in an age-specific and sexually-dimorphic manner.
Insulin depletion and hyperglycemia do not regulate the expression of GLUT8 in testes.
Title: Expression and regulation of insulin and the glucose transporter GLUT8 in the testes of diabetic rats.
GLUT8 may serve to transport glucose out of the rough ER into the cytosol and in this manner contribute to glucose homeostasis in hippocampal neurons.
Title: Peripheral glucose administration stimulates the translocation of GLUT8 glucose transporter to the endoplasmic reticulum in the rat hippocampus.
GLUT8 is a neuron-specific glucose transporter expressed in excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
Title: GLUT8 glucose transporter is localized to excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the rat hippocampus.
In cells normally expressing it, GLUT8 was associated with a specific intracellular compartment in which it may play an as-yet-uncharacterized role.
Title: GLUT8 subcellular localization and absence of translocation to the plasma membrane in PC12 cells and hippocampal neurons.
GLUT8 is expressed at a low level in the prepubertal testis and Sertoli cells and does not appear to be under l-triiodothyronine control

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
