Annual review of nutrition, 1993•annualreviews.orgGlucose transport and phosphorylation are the initial events in glucose utilization by all
tissues and cell types. The necessary first step in glucose utilization, the movement of the
molecule across the plasma membrane, is accomplished by a family of glucose transporters,
designated GLUT 1-5, that operate by facilitated diffusion to move glucose down a high to
low concentration gradient (10, 78, 85). Glucose uptake occurs when the
