Background Information
GLUT5, also known as SLC2A5, is a fructose transporter expressed on the apical border of enterocytes in the small intestine. GLUT5 allows for fructose to be transported from the intestinal lumen into the enterocyte by facilitated diffusion due to fructose's high concentration in the intestinal lumen (PMID: 12750891). GLUT5 is also expressed in skeletal muscle, testis, kidney, fat tissue (adipocytes), and brain (PMID: 9781312, 18398011).
