Enables the transfer of the hexose monosaccharide glucose from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:ai, GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729]
Glucose transmembrane transporter activity refers to the process by which glucose molecules are moved across cell membranes. This process is essential for the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it can be used as an energy source. Glucose transmembrane transporter activity is mediated by specialized proteins known as glucose transporters, which are embedded within the cell membrane. These transporters facilitate the movement of glucose across the membrane by binding to glucose molecules on one side of the membrane and releasing them on the other side. The movement of glucose across the membrane is driven by a concentration gradient, meaning that glucose moves from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. In the case of glucose uptake into cells, this gradient is established by the constant consumption of glucose within the cell, which keeps the intracellular glucose concentration lower than the extracellular concentration. There are several different types of glucose transporters, each with its own specific properties and functions. Some glucose transporters are highly specific for glucose, while others can transport other sugars as well. Additionally, some glucose transporters are constitutively active, meaning that they are always transporting glucose, while others are regulated, meaning that their activity can be controlled by various factors, such as insulin. The activity of glucose transporters is essential for maintaining normal blood glucose levels and for providing cells with the energy they need to function. Dysregulation of glucose transporter activity can lead to a variety of metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus.'
