    basic FUNCTION
  • facilitated glucose transporter
  • cytochalasin b-sensitive carrier, may be functioning primarily as a fructose transporter
  • fructose-induced hypertension is likely caused by increased salt absorption by the intestine and kidney and the transporters SLC26A6 and SLC2A5 are essential in this process
  • SLC2A5 is essential for the absorption of fructose in the intestine and plays a fundamental role in the generation of fructose-induced hypertension
  • role for the GLUT5 isoform in fructose uptake that takes place in cRCC cells and which subsequently leads to the malignant RCC progression
  • fructose and SLC2A5 play an important role in regulating adipose differentiation
  • altered activity of the fructose transporter GLUT5, an isoform of the facilitated-diffusion glucose transporter family, has been linked to disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity
  • major transporter of fructose
  • is the major fructose transporter which mediates most of fructose uptake in cells
  • is required for intestinal fructose absorption
