Function

It has 481 amino acids and its assembly composition is monomeric (or, that it is one distinct polypeptide with an A and B chain). Attached on the sides is the is a surfactant for membrane protein manipulation, allowing GLUT3 protein to easily enter a cell.

There are two chains that compose the GLUT3 protein. These chains are names the and the
