NCBI Protein Information
polyol/monosaccharide transporter 5
NCBI Summary
This gene encodes a plasma membrane-localized polyol/cyclitol/monosaccharide-H+-symporter. The symporter is able to catalyze the energy-dependent membrane passage of a wide range of linear polyols (three to six carbon backbone), of cyclic polyols (myo-inositol), and of numerous monosaccharides, including pyranose ring-forming and furanose ring-forming hexoses and pentoses. This gene belongs to a monosaccharide transporter-like (MST-like) superfamily.

UniProt Comments
Plasma membrane broad-spectrum sugar-proton symporter. Mediates the uptake of linear polyols such as sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol or glycerol. Can transport the cyclic polyol myo-inositol and different hexoses, pentoses (including ribose), tetroses and sugar alcohols.
