Hexose Transporters. The hexoses glucose, galactose and fructose serve as important dietary energy sources in animals and glucose plays a central role in energy homeostasis within eucaryotic cells.These molecules are unable to diffuse passively across cellular membranes, and require transporter proteins for entry into and exit from cells.he hexoses glucose, galactose and fructose serve as important dietary energy sources in animals and glucose plays a central role in energy homeostasis within eucaryotic cells.
Glucose is the most widely used aldohexose in living organisms. One possible explanation for this is that glucose has a lower tendency than other aldohexoses to react nonspecifically with the amine groups of proteins. This reactionâglycationâimpairs or destroys the function of many proteins.
