glpT family of transporters

The glpT family of transporters consist of several transport proteins from bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium, but also the human glucose-6-phosphate translocase. They all are evolutionary connected and have 12 transmembrane helices that stand together to make an opening between them, like a channel. This channel, however, is closed in the empty configuration of the molecule.[1]
