2.A.1.1.6
Galactose, glucose uniporter, Gal2. Also transports xylose (Wang et al. 2013).  This transporter has been engineered by mutation (N376F) to transport xylose without being inhibited by glucose or transporting other hexoses (Farwick et al. 2014).  The 3-d structure is known (Wang et al. 2015).
