Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Insulin-regulated facilitative hexose transporter that mediates the transport of glucose and fructose (By similarity). Facilitates hepatic influx of dietary trehalose, which in turn inhibits glucose and fructose influx triggering a starvation signal and hepatic autophagy through activation of AMPK and ULK1 (PubMed:27922102). Also able to mediate the transport of dehydroascorbate.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY D-glucose(out) = D-glucose(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY D-fructose(out) = D-fructose(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-dehydroascorbate(out) = L-dehydroascorbate(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY alpha,alpha-trehalose(in) = alpha,alpha-trehalose(out)ACTIVITY REGULATION Inhibited by cytochalasin B.SUBUNIT Interacts with AP2B1.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Principally intracellular. May move between intracellular vesicles and the plasma membrane. The dileucine internalization motif is critical for intracellular sequestration.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Highly expressed in testis, but not in testicular carcinoma. Lower amounts present in most other tissues.INDUCTION In testis, down-regulated by estrogen.SIMILARITY Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.
