abstract：:During preimplantation development in the mouse, it is crucial that glucose metabolism not be compromised. Any decrease in glucose uptake at this stage in development can compromise the developing embryo. We have cloned another member of the glucose transporter family, GLUT9, which is expressed embryonically. Three di...
