Transport of glycerol from adipocytes to liver by aquaporins (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
Triglycerides stored in adipocytes are hydrolyzed to yield fatty acids and glycerol. The glycerol is passively transported out of the adipocyte and into the bloodstream by Aquaporin-7 (AQP7) located in the plasma membrane of adipocytes. Glycerol in the bloodstream is passively transported into liver cells by AQP9 located in the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. Once inside the liver cell the glycerol is a substrate for gluconeogenesis.

R-HSA-432049 (Reactome) | Aquaporin-9 (AQP9) passively transports water, glycerol, urea, and some other small neutral solutes across the plasma membrane according to the osmotic gradient. AQP9 is expressed in the sinusoidal plasma membrane in the liver facing the portal vein where it is believed to be responsible for glycerol uptake as part of gluconeogenesis. AQP9 is also expressed in glia, neurons, and peripheral leukocytes. | |||
R-HSA-432074 (Reactome) | Aquaporin-7 (AQP7) passively transports glycerol and water across the plasma membrane according to the osmotic gradient. AQP7 is expressed in adipocytes under the direct control of the PPARG and RXRA nuclear receptors. Expression of AQP7 correlates with release of glycerol from adipocytes. AQP7 is seen to translocate from the nuclear periphery to the plasma membrane during adrenaline-stimulated lipolysis. In rat AQP7 also transports urea. | |||
