Facilitative glucose transporter 9, a unique hexose and urate transporter.
GLUT9 is a novel, facilitative glucose transporter isoform that exists as two alternative splice variants encoding two proteins that differ in their NH(2)-terminal sequence (GLUT9a and GLUT9b). Both forms of GLUT9 protein and mRNA are expressed in the epithelia of various tissues; however, the two splice variants are expressed differentially within polarized cells, with GLUT9a localized predomi...
متن کاملThe facilitative glucose transporter GLUT3: 20 years of distinction.
Glucose metabolism is vital to most mammalian cells, and the passage of glucose across cell membranes is facilitated by a family of integral membrane transporter proteins, the GLUTs. There are currently 14 members of the SLC2 family of GLUTs, several of which have been the focus of this series of reviews. The subject of the present review is GLUT3, which, as implied by its name, was the third g...
متن کاملTissue-specific ablation of the GLUT4 glucose transporter or the insulin receptor challenges assumptions about insulin action and glucose homeostasis.
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is growing worldwide. Most forms of type 2 diabetes are polygenic with complex inheritance patterns strongly influenced by environmental factors. The specific gene defects are unknown, but they affect both insulin action and insulin secretion. Glucose homeostasis is maintained by the fine orchestration of insulin secretion and insulin action to promote...
متن کاملThe comparison of continuous and intermittent training impact on glucose-4 transporter protein level and insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is now seen as a worldwide epidemic disease with high prevalence. Exercise training (ET) is known to promote beneficial changes in diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and intermittent aerobic training on glucose-4 transporter protein (GLUT-4) levels and insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats. Materials and meth...
متن کاملAnatomical and developmental patterns of facilitative glucose transporter gene expression in the rat kidney.
In situ hybridization was used to map cellular patterns of gene expression for facilitative glucose transporters (GTs) 1-5 in the developing and adult rat kidney. GT3 was not detected. GT1 mRNA was present in the proximal straight tubule (PST), distal nephron and collecting duct. GT2 mRNA was localized in both proximal convoluted and PST, while GT5 mRNA was detected only in the PST. GT4 mRNA an...
