SLC2A5

Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a fructose transporter responsible for fructose uptake by the small intestine. The encoded protein also is necessary for the increase in blood pressure due to high dietary fructose consumption. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016].
UniProt Summary: Functions as a fructose transporter that has only low activity with other monosaccharides (PubMed:8333543). Can mediate the uptake of 2-deoxyglucose, but with low efficiency (PubMed:1695905). 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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WV38, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1695905, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8333543}.
