function:Cytochalasin B-sensitive carrier. Seems to function primarily as a fructose transporter.,induction:By forskolin (in Caco-2 cells).,mass spectrometry: PubMed:11840567,similarity:Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.,tissue specificity:Expressed in small intestine, and at much lower levels in kidney, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.,
Apical cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell membrane, sarcolemma . Localized on the apical membrane of jejunum villi, but also on lateral plasma membranes of the villi. Transport to the cell membrane is dependent on RAB11A. .
Detected in skeletal muscle, and in jejunum brush border membrane and basolateral membrane (at protein level) (PubMed:7619085). Expressed in small intestine, and at much lower levels in kidney, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.
