The D-glucose transporter from human erythrocytes has been purified and reconstituted by Kasahara and Hinkle (J Biol Chem 252:7394-7390). Using a similar purification scheme, we have isolated the protein with 65% of the extracted phospholipid at a lipid-protein ratio of 14: 1 by weight. The KD (0.14

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
The inhibition of glucose transport by the nonโionizable localโanesthetic benzylalcohol is of the mixed type and independent of pH. The affinity of benzylalcohol to the free carrier is about three times larger than that to the carrierโglucose complex.
