- Hexose transport, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Hexose transport, organism-specific biosystemHexoses, notably fructose, glucose, and galactose, generated in the lumen of the small intestine by breakdown of dietary carbohydrate are taken up by enterocytes lining the microvilli of the small in...
- Metabolism, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Metabolism, organism-specific biosystemMetabolic processes in human cells generate energy through the oxidation of molecules consumed in the diet and mediate the synthesis of diverse essential molecules not taken in the diet as well as th...
- Metabolism of carbohydrates, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Metabolism of carbohydrates, organism-specific biosystemThese pathways together are responsible for: 1) the extraction of energy and carbon skeletons for biosyntheses from dietary sugars and related molecules; 2) the short-term storage of glucose in the b...

- Na+-dependent glucose transporters, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Na+-dependent glucose transporters, organism-specific biosystemTwo gene families are responsible for glucose transport in humans. SLC2 (encoding GLUTs) and SLC5 (encoding SGLTs) families mediate glucose absorption in the small intestine, glucose reabsorption in ...
- SLC-mediated transmembrane transport, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
SLC-mediated transmembrane transport, organism-specific biosystemProteins with transporting functions can be roughly classified into 3 categories: ATP-powered pumps, ion channels, and transporters. Pumps utilize the energy released by ATP hydrolysis to power the m...

- Transport of glucose and other sugars, bile salts and organic acids, metal ions and amine compounds, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Transport of glucose and other sugars, bile salts and organic acids, metal ions and amine compounds, organism-specific biosystemHexoses like glucose, galactose and fructose serve as basic fuel molecules for eukaryotic cells. Indeed, glucose is the main energy source for mammalian cells. These sugars are unable to diffuse acro...
