Impact of glycerol gateway molecule in adipocytes.

Cellular and molecular biology (Noisy-le-Grand, France) - 30 Oct 2006

Funahashi T, Nagasawa A, Hibuse T, Maeda N

Abstract excerpt

Glycerol is one of the essential nutrients in the mammalian body. Glycerol released from adipocytes is delivered to the liver and used for gluconeogenesis. The molecular mechanism of glycerol transport across the cell membrane remains unclear. AQPadipose, which we identified in human adipose cDNA project and later found to be human AQP7, is expressed in adipose tissue, and upregulated during fasting. AQP7 belongs...
