GLUT-3 (glucose transporter type 3) ( gene : SLC2A3 ) is the name of the protein that is particularly localized in the cell membrane of the neurons of animals and facilitates the introduction and discharge of glucose and dehydroascorbate . It is a membrane transport protein . In humans, GLUT-3 is also present to a small extent in many other tissue types. In the house mouse ( Mus musculus ) it is one of the most common proteins in the sperm .

The oldest specimen in evolutionary terms was found in Nematostella vectensis , a sea ​​anemone .

function

In neurons, the expression of GLUT-3 is regulated by the activity of AMP kinase . This process is an important part of the insensitivity of neurons to excitotoxicity (overactivation of glutamate receptors ). GLUT-3 is also indispensable in the early development phase of the embryo.
