The reference OMIM entry for this protein is 611039

Solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 14; slc2a14
Glucose transporter 14; glut14

DESCRIPTION

Members of the glucose transporter (GLUT) family, including SLC2A14, are highly conserved integral membrane proteins that transport hexoses such as glucose and fructose into all mammalian cells. GLUTs show tissue and cell-type specific expression (Wu and Freeze, 2002).

CLONING

By database analysis, followed by PCR of a human testis cDNA library, Wu and Freeze (2002) cloned SLC2A14. They identified 2 alternatively spliced forms. The short isoform has 10 exons and encodes a 497-amino acid protein that shares 94.5% identity with SLC2A3 (138170). The long isoform has 11 exons and encodes a 520-amino acid protein that differs from the short isoform by inclusion of exon 1b. SLC2A14 contains 12 transmembrane domains, a putative glycosylation site, and sugar transporter signature motifs. RT-PCR analysis showed that both isoforms were expressed in testis only.

GENE STRUCTURE

Wu and Freeze (2002) determined that the SLC2A14 gene contains 11 exons. Exon 1b of the long isoform disrupts the reading frame, but a secondary ATG codon within exon 1b allows synthesis of a functional protein.

MAPPING

By genomic sequence analysis, Wu and Freeze (2002) mapped the SLC2A14 gene to chromosome 12p13.3, about 10 Mb upstream of SLC2A3.

EVOLUTION

Wu and Freeze (2002) performed sequence comparison of SLC2A14 and SLC2A3 and concluded that SLC2A14 likely resulted from gene duplication of SLC2A3. ... More on the omim web site
