3-O-Methyl-D-Glucose is a non-metabolizable glucose analogue that is not phosphorylated by hexokinase. 3-O-Methylglucose is used as a marker to assess glucose transport by evaluating its uptake within various cells and organ systems.

Glucose uptake experiments are commonly used to measure cellular metabolic activity and glucose transport. Glucose uptake can be studied using radiolabeled glucose itself, or radiolabeled glucose analogs such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose (DOG) or 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (OMG).
3-O-methyl-D-glucose is a glucose analog that is not phosphorylated, but instead equilibrates across the cell membrane. Because equilibrium is usually reached rapidly, uptake is typically linear for only a short period of time.
