Genomic organization of S. mansoni glucose transporters. The genomic organization of the coding regions of S. mansoni glucose transporters is presented. The genomic organizations of human glucose transporters 1 (GLUT1) and 4 (GLUT4) are displayed for comparative purposes. Exons are represented by solid blue boxes and introns are represented by connecting lines. The sizes of exons and introns are shown in base pairs above and below the boxes and lines, respectively. Exons are numbered with roman numerals beneath the boxes. Exons coding for different regions of the proteins are highlighted in purple, green and orange. Interrogation marks are showing intron positions were information is missing from genome sequences (see Table 1 for complementary information)
