Glut5 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is a fructose transporter responsible for fructose uptake by the small intestine. The encoded protein also is necessary for the increase in blood pressure due to high dietary fructose consumption. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016], function:Cytochalasin B-sensitive carrier. Seems to function primarily as a fructose transporter., induction:By forskolin (in Caco-2 cells) ., mass spectrometry: PubMed:11840567, similarity:Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily., tissue specificity:Expressed in small intestine, and at much lower levels in kidney, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.
