GLUT1 facilitates the transport of glucose across ...
GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, also known as GLUT1-DS, De Vivo disease or Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic metabolic disorder associated with a deficiency of GLUT1, the protein that transports glucose across the blood brain barrier. [1] Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome has an estimated ...
All GLUT proteins share a common structure: 12 transmembrane segments, a single N-linked glycosylation site, a large central cytoplasmic linker, and both N- and C-termini located in the cytoplasm. [4] These transporters are expressed in nearly all body cells. While most GLUTs facilitate glucose transport, HMIT is an exception. [4]
low-affinity glucose transporter [3] Hxt4: Vm = 12.0, Kd = 0.049, Km = 6.2 [1] intermediate-affinity glucose transporter [3] Hxt5: Km = 10 mM [4] Moderate glucose affinity. Abundant during stationary phase, sporulation and low glucose conditions. Transcription repressed by glucose. [4] Hxt6: Vm = 11.4, Kd = 0.029, Km = 0.9/14, [1] 1.5 mM [3 ...
It is an integral membrane protein carrier with a hydrophilic interior, which allows it to bind to glucose. As GLUT 1 is a type of carrier protein, it will undergo a conformational change to allow glucose to enter the other side of the plasma membrane. [22] GLUT 1 is commonly found in the red blood cell membranes of mammals. [23]
Most importantly, the PI-3K pathway is responsible for the distribution of glucose for important cell functions. For example, the suppression of hepatic glucose synthesis and the activation of glycogen synthesis. Hence, AKT possesses a crucial role in the linkage of the glucose transporter to the insulin signaling pathway. The activated GLUT4 ...
For example, SLC1A1 is the first isoform of subfamily A of SLC family 1. An exception occurs with SLC family 21 [ 5 ] (the organic anion transporting polypeptide transporters), which for historical reasons have names in the format SLCOnXm where n = family number, X = subfamily letter, and m = member number.
Glutamate transporters are a family of neurotransmitter transporter proteins that move glutamate – the principal excitatory neurotransmitter – across a membrane.The family of glutamate transporters is composed of two primary subclasses: the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) family and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) family.
