“…For example, GLUT1 expression is polarized in cells comprising the blood-brain barrier (Pardridge et al, 1990), the blood-placental barrier (Takata et al, 1994), peripheral nerve cell sheaths (Muona et al, 1992), kidney proximal tubules (Heilig et al, 1995), mammary glands (Camps et al, 1994), the rat oviduct (Tadokoro et al, 1995), and the intestine (Boyer et al, 1996). In Caco-2 and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, which are model systems for intestinal and kidney epithelia, respectively, GLUT1 is localized to the basolateral plasma membrane (Harris et al, 1992;Pascoe et al, 1996).…”
