Isoform-selective inhibition of facilitative glucose transporters: elucidation of the molecular mechanism of HIV protease inhibitor binding.
Pharmacologic HIV protease inhibitors (PIs) and structurally related oligopeptides are known to reversibly bind and inactivate the insulin-responsive facilitative glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). Several PIs exhibit isoform selectivity with little effect on GLUT1. The ability to target individual GLUT isoforms in an acute and reversible manner provides novel means both to investigate the contribu...
متن کاملAvian and Mammalian Facilitative Glucose Transporters
The GLUT members belong to a family of glucose transporter proteins that facilitate glucose transport across the cell membrane. The mammalian GLUT family consists of thirteen members (GLUTs 1-12 and H⁺-myo-inositol transporter (HMIT)). Humans have a recently duplicated GLUT member, GLUT14. Avians express the majority of GLUT members. The arrangement of multiple GLUTs across all somatic tissues ...
متن کاملFacilitative glucose transporters in livestock species.
The study of facilitative glucose transporters (GLUT) requires carefully done immunological experiments and sensitive molecular biology approaches to identify the various mechanisms which control GLUT expression at the RNA and protein levels. The cloning of species-specific GLUT cDNAs showed that GLUT4 and GLUT1 diverge less among species than other GLUT isoforms. The key role of GLUT in glucos...
متن کاملFacilitative glucose transporters: regulatory mechanisms and dysregulation in diabetes.
Introduction Maintenance of normal glucose homeostasis results from the precise orchestration ofthree processes: glucose absorption via the gut, production by the liver, and utilization by nearly all tissues in the body. In the fasting state, most ofglucose utilization is by brain and is independent of insulin. Glucose levels are maintained during a fast by the tightly regulated release of gluc...
