Table 2 GLUT5-associated intestinal diseases and the role of GLUT5 in these diseases
Disease |
Role of GLUT5 |
Reference |
Gut microbiota dysbiosis/gut barrier dysfunction |
Changes in dietary fructose levels and intestinal GLUT5 expression contribute to disease development by altering normal gut microbiota and gut barrier function. |
|
IBDs (including UC and CD) |
GLUT5 promotes the formation and growth of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the lamina propria of the large intestine in patients with IBDs. |
|
CRC |
High expression of GLUT5 promotes CRC cells proliferation, metastasis, invasion and enhances drug resistance of cancer cells. |
|
FM |
Fructose malabsorption due to lack of ChREBP or rab11a, or low expression of GLUT5 itself. |
