GLUT I is a transport protein present in most of the mammalian cells which transports glucose from extracellular side into the cytoplasm of the cells. The Km of GLUTI for glucose is 1.5mM whereas its Km for D-mannose is 20mM. Hence affinity of GLUTI is
A:
Higher for glucose than mannose
B:
Less for glucose than mannose
C:
Higher for mannose than mannose
D:
Same for glucose and mannose
The answer is:
A
