Table 5.

Conserved amino acids involved in the d-glucose binding site. The table shows that most amino acids involved in the d-glucose binding site in the bacterial homologue (XylE) are conserved in human GLUT1. Nevertheless, Q175 is not conserved in the human homologue and is represented by a dash (–). An asterisk (*) indicates homology.
