GLUT5

{{Short description|Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens}}

GLUT5 is a fructose transporter expressed on the apical border of enterocytes in the small intestine.{{cite journal |vauthors=Uldry M, Thorens B | title = The SLC2 family of facilitated hexose and polyol transporters | journal = Pflügers Archiv: European Journal of Physiology | volume = 447 | issue = 5 | pages = 480–9 |date=February 2004 | pmid = 12750891 | doi = 10.1007/s00424-003-1085-0 | s2cid = 25539725 | url = http://doc.rero.ch/record/316469/files/424_2004_Article_1264.pdf}} GLUT5 allows for fructose to be transported from the intestinal lumen into the enterocyte by facilitated diffusion due to fructose's high concentration in the intestinal lumen. GLUT5 is also expressed in skeletal muscle,{{cite book |vauthors=Hundal HS, Darakhshan F, Kristiansen S, Blakemore SJ, Richter EA | title = Skeletal Muscle Metabolism in Exercise and Diabetes | chapter = GLUT5 Expression and Fructose Transport in Human Skeletal Muscle | series = Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology | volume = 441 | pages = 35–45 | year = 1998 | pmid = 9781312 | doi = 10.1007/978-1-4899-1928-1_4| isbn = 978-1-4899-1930-4 }} testis, kidney, fat tissue (adipocytes), and brain.{{cite journal |vauthors=Douard V, Ferraris RP | title = Regulation of the fructose transporter GLUT5 in health and disease | journal = American Journal of Physiology.

Fructose malabsorption or Dietary Fructose Intolerance is a dietary disability of the small intestine, where the amount of fructose carrier in enterocytes is deficient.{{cite journal |vauthors=Barone S, Fussell SL, Singh AK, Lucas F, Xu J, Kim C, Wu X, Yu Y, Amlal H, Seidler U, Zuo J, Soleimani M | title = Slc2a5 (Glut5) Is Essential for the Absorption of Fructose in the Intestine and Generation of Fructose-induced Hypertension | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 284 | issue = 8 | pages = 5056–66 |date=February 2009 | pmid = 19091748 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M808128200 | pmc = 2643499 | doi-access = free }}

In humans the GLUT5 protein is encoded by the SLC2A5 gene.{{cite journal |vauthors=White PS, Jensen SJ, Rajalingam V, Stairs D, Sulman EP, Maris JM, Biegel JA, Wooster R, Brodeur GM | title = Physical mapping of the CA6, ENO1, and SLC2A5 (GLUT5) genes and reassignment of SLC2A5 to 1p36.2 | journal = Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics | volume = 81 | issue = 1 | pages = 60–4 | year = 1998 | pmid = 9691177 | doi = 10.1159/000014989 | s2cid = 46770845 }}

Regulation

Fructose uptake rate by GLUT5 is significantly reduced by diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, fructose malabsorption, and inflammation. However, age-related changes in fructose intake capability are not explained by the rate of expression of GLUT5.{{cite journal |vauthors=Douard V, Ferraris RP |title=Regulation of the fructose transporter GLUT5 in health and disease |journal=Am.
