Glucose Transport

• Na+-Independent Facilitated Diffusion Glucose Transporters (GLUT 1-14)With concentration gradientEnergy Independent

• Na+-Monosaccharide Cotransporter:Against concentration gradientEnergy dependentCarrier-mediated (SGLT)Coupled to Na+ transportSmall intestine, renal tubules & choroid plexus

Glucose Transport: Facilitated Diffusion

Glucose Transporters

• Tissue-specific expression pattern GLUT-1 RBCs and brainGLUT-2 Liver, kidney & pancreasGLUT-3 NeuronsGLUT-4 Adipose tissue & skeletal muscleGLUT-5 Small intestine & testesGLUT-7 Liver (ER-membrane)

• Functions:GLUT-1, 3 & 4 Glucose uptake from bloodGLUT-2 Blood & cells (either direction)GLUT-5 Fructose transport

Glucose Transport & Insulin
