Reaction: Defective SLC2A10 does not transport Glc from extracellular region to cytosol
Four class III facilitative transporters can transport glucose; SLC2A6, 8, 10 and 12 (encoding GLUT6, 8, 10 and 12 respectively). SLC2A10 (located in the Type 2 diabetes-linked region of human chromosome 20q12-13.1) encodes GLUT10, a transporter with high affinity for glucose. GLUT10 is highly expressed in liver and pancreas but is present at lower levels in most tissues. Defects in SLC2A10 are the cause of arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS; MIM:208050), an autosomal recessive disorder of connective tissue characterised by tortuosity and elongation of major arteries, often resulting in death at a young age (Coucke et al. 2006). Mutations causing ATS include W170*, V321Cfs*71, G445Efs*40, S81R, G426W and R132W (Coucke et al. 2006, Faiyaz-Ul-Haque et al. 2008, Callewaert et al. 2008).
