Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text.

Ideally this entry shall become one comprehensive and continuous article. Bulleted lists, for instance, were only used because it is impossible to automatically integrate independent facts into a continuous text.

Much of the current information on this page has been automatically compiled from Pubmed.

This precompiled information serves as a substrate and matrix to embed your contributions, but it is by no means the final word - Homo sapiens can do much better!

High impact information on GUP2

GUP1 and its close homologue GUP2, encoding multimembrane-spanning proteins involved in active glycerol uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1].
Furthermore, transcription of GUP1 and GUP2 was not affected in the gpd1gpd2 mutant strain grown under salt stress in the presence of small amounts of glycerol, in which case a very high Vmax of glycerol uptake was reported [2].

Biological context of GUP2

Previous studies evidenced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the activity of a H(+)/glycerol symport, derepressed by growth on non-fermentable carbon sources, later associated with GUP1 and GUP2 genes [3].
Expression studies of GUP1 and GUP2, genes involved in glycerol active transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using semi-quantitative RT-PCR [2].

Associations of GUP2 with chemical compounds

GUP1 and GUP2 were identified and characterised as genes involved in glycerol active uptake [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GUP2

Using semi-quantitative RT-PCR, GUP1 and GUP2 transcription was measured [2].
