In humans the GLUT5 protein is encoded by the SLC2A5gene.[9]
Regulation
Fructose uptake rate by GLUT5 is significantly reduced by diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, fructose malabsorption, and inflammation. However, age-related changes in fructose intake capability are not explained by the rate of expression of GLUT5.[10][11][12] The absorption of fructose in the simultaneous presence of glucose is improved, while sorbitol is inhibitory.[13] Fructose absorption by GLUT5 can be investigated using intestinal organoids.[14][15]
