1. The protein I searched for
was glucose transporter. Glucose, one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple
sugars (monosaccharides), is found in fruits and honey and is the major free
sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. In addition, it is the source
of energy in cell function, and the regulation of its metabolism is of great
importance. Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that
facilitate the transport of glucose over a plasma membrane.
2. The specific protein I selected was called Cyclospora cayetanensis (ACCESSION :XP_022587736)
