Glucose transport across the chondrocyte membrane is essential for chondrogenesis and
the development of the skeletal system. We have previously used RT–PCR to show that fully
developed human articular chondrocytes express transcripts for the GLUT1 and GLUT9
glucose transporters. In this study we report on the expression and immunohistochemical
localization of the GLUT1 and GLUT9 proteins in embryonic and mature ovine cartilage. We
also provide Western blot evidence for GLUT1 and GLUT9 expression in mature ovine …
