Role of Monosaccharide Transport Proteins in Carbohydrate Assimilation, Distribution, Metabolism, and Homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, 2012
Abstract The facilitated diffusion of glucose, galactose, fructose, urate, myoinositol, and dehydroascorbic acid in mammals is catalyzed by a family of 14 monosaccharide transport proteins called GLUTs. These transporters may be divided into three classes according to sequence similarity and function/substrate ...

Phylogenetic analysis and structural prediction reveal the potential functional diversity between green algae SWEET transporters

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Sugar-Will-Eventually-be-Exported-Transporters (SWEETs) are an important family of sugar transporters that appear to be ubiquitous in all organisms. Recent research has determined the structure of SWEETs in higher plants, identified specific residues ...

O-GlcNAc Dynamics: The Sweet Side of Protein Trafficking Regulation in Mammalian Cells

open access: yesCells, 2023
The transport of proteins between the different cellular compartments and the cell surface is governed by the secretory pathway. Alternatively, unconventional secretion pathways have been described in mammalian cells, especially through multivesicular ...

Genome-wide identification, expression and functional analysis of sugar transporters in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022
Sugar transporters are essential for osmotic process regulation, various signaling pathways and plant growth and development. Currently, few studies are available on the function of sugar transporters in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.).

Comprehensive assembly and analysis of the transcriptome of maritime pine developing embryos

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background There are clear differences in embryo development between angiosperm and gymnosperm species. Most of the current knowledge on gene expression and regulation during plant embryo development has derived from studies on angiosperms species, in ...

Monosaccharide transport in protein-depleted vesicles from erythrocyte membranes.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1977
Treatment of human erythrocyte membranes with dilute alkali (pH 11.5) generates sealed, protein-depleted vesicles that can be isolated by density gradient centrifugation. The vesicles are 0.5 to 2.0 micrometers in diameter, and their membranes are predominantly oriented inside-out.

PO-159 Swimming improves metabolic syndrome by regulation insulin sensitivity and monosaccharide transporter proteins activity via NF-κB signaling pathway

open access: yesExercise Biochemistry Review, 2018
Objective Diabetes is one kind of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia and metabolic syndrome due to insulin secretion defects or/and biological function damage. Evidences have suggested that sports plays essential role in the progression of diabetes and affects insulin resistance and monosaccharide transporter proteins activity.
