Glucose transporters (GLUT and SGLT): expanded families of sugar transport proteins.
The number of known glucose transporters has expanded considerably over the past 2 years. At least three, and up to six, Na+-dependent glucose transporters (SGLT1-SGLT6; gene name SLC5A) have been identified. Similarly, thirteen members of the family of facilitative sugar transporters (GLUT1-GLUT12 and HMIT; gene name SLC2A) are now recognised. These various transporters exhibit different subst...
متن کاملMechanisms and Regulation of Sugar Transport Expression of the hexose transporters GLUT I -GLUT5 and SGLT I in clones of Caco-2 cells
Introduction Intestinal absorbing cells are highly polarized with an apical brush border membrane separated from the basolateral side of the cell by tight junctions. These membranes are morphologically and functionally distinct. In mature enterocytes the brush border membrane contains the protein equipment that ensures the terminal digestion and absorption of nutrients. The entry of hexoses int...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose transporters (GLUT-1 and GLUT-3) in human retinal endothelial cells.
The regulation of glucose transporters (GLUT-1 and GLUT-3), in terms of both mRNA and protein, in human retinal endothelial cells was investigated. The cells responded within 1 h of exposure to 5 mM glucose with an increase in the level of GLUT-3 mRNA that was due to an increase in the transcription of the 4.1 kb mRNA of the gene for GLUT-3. In the absence of glucose, the gene for GLUT-1 was no...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose transporters GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 gene transcription in denervated skeletal muscle.
Because GLUT-4 expression is decreased whereas GLUT-1 expression is increased in denervated skeletal muscle, we examined the effects of denervation on GLUT-4 and GLUT-1 gene transcription. The right hindlimb skeletal muscle of male transgenic mice containing sequential truncations (2,400, 1,639, 1,154, and 730 bp) of the human GLUT-4 promoter linked to the chloramphenacol acyl transferase (CAT)...
متن کاملGlucose transporters in cattle - a review*
Glucose is the major energy source for the animal cells. It is important substrate for protein and lipid synthesis. This sugar is absorbed into the cells from body fluids via glucose transporters – structurally related trans-membrane proteins. There are two types of glucose transport passive and active. The facilitative-glucose-transporter family of proteins (solute co-transporters GLUT, encode...
