High impact information on Slc2a2

  • Pancreatic beta cell-surface expression of glucose transporter 2 (Glut-2) is essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, thereby controlling blood glucose homeostasis in response to dietary intake [1].
  • Loss of GlcNAcT-IVa, or the addition of glycan-ligand mimetics, attenuates Glut-2 cell-surface half-life, provoking endocytosis with redistribution into endosomes and lysosomes [1].
  • Remarkably, the induction of diabetes by chronic ingestion of a high-fat diet is associated with reduced GlcNAcT-IV expression and attenuated Glut-2 glycosylation coincident with Glut-2 endocytosis [1].
  • We show that the murine GlcNAcT-IVa glycosyltransferase is required for Glut-2 residency on the beta cell surface by constructing a cell-type- and glycoprotein-specific N-glycan ligand for pancreatic lectin receptors [1].
  • Here we show that homozygous, but not heterozygous, mice deficient in Glut-2 are hyperglycaemic and relatively hypo-insulinaemic and have elevated plasma levels of glucagon, free fatty acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate [2].
 

Biological context of Slc2a2

 

Anatomical context of Slc2a2

 

Associations of Slc2a2 with chemical compounds

  • In beta-cells, Glut-2 has been proposed to be active in the control of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS; ref. 2), and its expression is strongly reduced in glucose-unresponsive islets from different animal models of diabetes [2].
  • The polymorphism at threonine 110 had no effect on the expression of Glut2 protein or the uptake of 2-deoxyglucose [7].
  • The lack of any strain differences in 3-O-methyl glucose transport, Glut2 levels and medium nitrite accumulation suggested that STZ transport and nitric oxide metabolism were not responsible for differences in STZ sensitivity and metabolite accumulation [8].
  • We examined them morphologically and measured islet NAD + NADH content, streptozotocin metabolite accumulation, glucose transport capacity, Glut2 levels and medium nitrite accumulation [8].
  • The role of Glut2 can be to enhance the depletion of gluconeogenic cells into glucose-6-phosphate (G6-P) when cultivated without glucose [9].
 

Other interactions of Slc2a2

  • Altered Glut-2 accumulation and beta-cell function in mice lacking the exocrine-specific transcription factor, Mist1 [10].
  • One expressed the glucose transporter-2 (Glut-2), and the other cell type coexpressed insulin and somatostatin [11].
  • Development of these congenic strains has allowed Idd3 to be localized between Glut2 and D3Mit6, close to the Il2 locus [12].
  • Down-regulation of SREBP-1 expression with the specific small interfering RNA blocked basal and LXRbeta-induced expression of pancreatic duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX-1), insulin, and Glut2 genes [13].
  • Further analysis revealed that insulin 1, insulin 2, Pdx1, Beta2, and Glut-2 transcripts are diminished in MafA-deficient mice [14].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Slc2a2

  • Chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-HNF6 antibodies was performed on chromatin isolated from Foxa2(loxP/loxP) Alfp.Cre and control mouse livers, and HNF6 binding to its target, Glut2, was determined by quantitative PCR [15].
  • Real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis of islets from Anx7 heterozygous mice and littermate controls revealed remarkable down-regulation in PTEN, Glut-2, PDX-1, IGF-1, and Neuro D1 expression, but not in liver [16].
  • In vitro, splenocytes from IFA treated animals showed non-specific immunosuppression with ConA (p < 0.01), whereas the response to 1-casein and Glut-2 was raised in IFA treated animals with respect to controls [17].
