1. GLUT-1: Facilitates the transport of glucose across cell membranes, particularly in red blood cells and the blood-brain barrier.
2. GLUT-2: Plays a role in the transport of glucose in the liver, pancreas, and intestine.
3. GLUT-3: Facilitates glucose transport in neurons and the brain.
4. GLUT-4: Responsible for insulin-regulated glucose uptake in muscle and fat cells.
5. GLUT-5: Facilitates the transport of fructose across cell membranes, particularly in the small intestine.
