2.A.123.1.9
Sweet1: bidirectional low affinity glucose uniporter, Km = ~9 mM (Does not transport mannose, fructose or galactose) (Chen et al. 2010). The structure is know, and three regions, each containing several well conserved essential residues, comprise the substrate-binding pocket, the extrafacial gate, and the intrafacial gate (Xuan et al. 2013; Tao et al. 2015).  The orthologous SWEET1 in Camellia sinensis (tea) transports glucose, glucose analogues, and other hexoses (Wang et al. 2018).
