Glut5 transports fructose into epithelial cells of small intestine (1,2). Besides the small intestine, Glut5 is also expressed in other tissues, such as skeletal muscle and the prostate gland (3). In addition, studies show that Glut5 expression is significantly upregulated in prostate cancer, and fructose promotes prostate cancer growth (2). Furthermore, fructose metabolism mediated by Glut5 in tumor endothelial cells from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) enhances tumor angiogenesis by boosting respiration in mitochondria (4).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nFructose transporter; Glucose transporter type 5, small intestine; glucose transporter-like protein 5; GLUT-5; GLUT5; GTR5; SLC2A5; solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 5; solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose\/fructose transporter), member 5; solute carrier family 2 member 5; Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 5; testicular tissue protein Li 81\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 42-80\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799873081513,"sku":"71407T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-71407t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
