1. Briefly explain and illustrate all the elements and transporters involved in the uptake of glucose from the gut.
Homework Answers
There are almost 12 GLUT transporters that assimilate glucose, but only a few of them actually are expressed on the intestinal cells to absorb glucose.
Transporters
GLUT 2- Present in the intestines capable of double transporting monosaccharides other than glucose across the membrane. Belongs to Class I transporters. GLUT 2 transporters are responsible to uptake the absorbed glucose from the lumen to blood.
GLUT 7 - Responsible for transporting glucose out into the endoplasmic reticulum.
SGLT-1 - These are sodium-glucose transport proteins. It carries out a coupled transport with glucose and Sodium (Na). As a part of it, both glucose and Sodium are absorbed into the intestine.
Elements involved - Along with the transporters, sodium (Na) is the key element involved in increasing the absorption of glucose into the gut cells.A Recent study also revealed that 'Chromium' to be having a significant role in glucose absorption in the intestine.
