hexoses transported by GLUT7/11 hexoses transported by GLUT7/11 GLUT7 and GLUT11 transport glucose and fructose Authored: Jassal, B, 2009-07-10 Edited: Jassal, B, 2009-07-10 Pubmed11583593 Pubmed11741323 Pubmed15033637 Pubmed16154905 Reactome Database ID Release 43428779 Reactome, http://www.reactome.org ReactomeREACT_19138 Reviewed: He, L, 2009-08-24 SLC2A7 encodes GLUT7, a class II facilitative glucose transporter which was cloned from a human intestinal cDNA library (Li Q et al, 2004). It has a high affinity for glucose and fructose uptake. GLUT7 is found predominantly in the small intestine, colon, testis and prostate.<br><br>SLC2A11 encodes GLUT11 (Doege H et al, 2001), another member of the class II facilitative glucose transporters. It has the highest similarity with GLUT5 and in humans, three isoforms are expressed (GLUT11A-C) (Sasaki T et al, 2001). Human GLUT11 has been shown to transport glucose and fructose but not galactose when expressed in Xenopus oocytes ( Scheepers A et al, 2005).
