Biological function summary
In the human body this protein influences urate homeostasis by managing uric acid levels in the blood. GLUT9 operates as a homomeric protein meaning it forms a functional unit by itself rather than needing to associate with other proteins to function. It significantly affects renal reabsorption processes regulating the excretion and reabsorption of urate in the kidneys. By controlling these uric acid levels it plays an important part in preventing hyperuricemia and related complications.
Pathways
GLUT9 contributes mainly to carbohydrate metabolism and urate transport pathways. Its role within the urate transport pathway links it to various other urate transporter proteins such as URAT1 which also participates in the regulation of uric acid excretion. In glucose metabolism GLUT9 works alongside other glucose transporters to maintain glucose levels linking it indirectly to pathways involving insulin response.

General info
Function
High-capacity urate transporter, which may play a role in the urate reabsorption by proximal tubules (PubMed : 18327257, PubMed : 18701466, PubMed : 22647630, PubMed : 28083649, PubMed : 36749388). May have a residual high-affinity, low-capacity glucose and fructose transporter activity (PubMed : 18327257, PubMed : 18701466, PubMed : 18842065). Transports urate at rates 45- to 60-fold faster than glucose (PubMed : 18842065). Does not transport galactose (PubMed : 28083649). May mediate small uptake of adenine but not of other nucleobases (PubMed : 22647630).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Sugar transporter (TC 2.A.1.1) family. Glucose transporter subfamily.
