Synthetic peptide corresponding to unique amino acid sequence on human GLUT 5 protein.
Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Detected in skeletal muscle, and in jejunum brush border membrane and basolateral membrane (at protein level). Expressed in small intestine, and at much lower levels in kidney, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.
Function
Functions as a fructose transporter that has only low activity with other monosaccharides. Can mediate the uptake of 2-deoxyglucose, but with low efficiency. Essential for fructose uptake in the small intestine. Plays a role in the regulation of salt uptake and blood pressure in response to dietary fructose. Required for the development of high blood pressure in response to high dietary fructose intake.
