GLUT 2 Glucose transporter isoform 2, a facilitative glucose transporter present in the liver, the p-cells of the pancreas, and the basolateral surface of intestinal epithelial cells. 

GLUT 5 A facilitative glucose transporter isoform present in the small intestine and other tissues that will transport fructose (and glucose to a lesser extent) across the plasma membrane. 

GLUT 2 Glucose transporter isoform 2 a transport protein located on the plasma membrane of liver, pancreas, intestine, and kidney that will allow glucose to cross the membrane depending on the concentration gradient. GLUT 2 is the transporter that enables export of glucose from the liver.
