Glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) also known as solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter) member 2 (SLC2A2) is a transmembrane carrier protein that enables protein facilitated glucose movement across cell membranes. It is the principal transporter for transfer of glucose between liver and blood and for renal glucose reabsorption. In humans this protein is encoded by the SLC2A2 gene. Unlike GLUT4 it does not rely on insulin for facilitated diffusion.
