  • localizes predominantly to the mitochondria of smooth muscle cells and insulin-stimulated adipocytes
  • 0 is present in the ER
  • targeting of SLC2A10 to mitochondria is important to maintain redox homeostasis, mitochondrial structure and mitochondrial function in arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCS)
  • basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in maintaining glucose homeostasis
  • may be transporting ascorbate, a cofactor for collagen and elastin hydroxylases, into the secretory pathway
  • evidence for SLC2A9 and SLC2A12 expression in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in conjunction with the previously identified SLC2A1 and SLC2A10
  • facilitates transport of l-dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidized form of vitamin C, into mitochondria, and also increases cellular uptake of DHA, which in turn protects cells against oxidative stress
  • physiological role as the mitochondrial DHA transporter, and protects cells from oxidative injury
  • is essential for cardiovascular development by facilitating both mitochondrial respiration and TGFB1 signaling
  • facilitates dehydroascorbic acid transport
  • may have a role in maintaining the integrity of peripheral arteries
  • may contribute to glucose transport from the endolymph to the hair cells across the cuticular plate
