Characterization of the fetal glucose transporter in rabbit kidney: Comparison with the adult brush border electrogenic Na super(+)-glucose symporter

Glucose transport was characterized in rabbit renal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) of the fetus late in gestation. The combined observations suggest that mature expression of membrane proteins (transporters and enzymes) occurs at different stages of development of renal proximal tubule cells.
