== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/G6PT1_HUMAN G6PT1_HUMAN] Inorganic phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate antiporter of the endoplasmic reticulum. Transports cytoplasmic glucose-6-phosphate into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and translocates inorganic phosphate into the opposite direction (PubMed:33964207). Forms with glucose-6-phosphatase the complex responsible for glucose production through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. Hence, it plays a central role in homeostatic regulation of blood glucose levels.<ref>PMID:10026167</ref> <ref>PMID:21949678</ref> <ref>PMID:33964207</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The human glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT) moves glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) into the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum, playing a vital role in glucose homeostasis. Dysregulation of G6PT causes glycogen storage disease 1b. Despite its functional importance, the structure, G6P recognition, and inhibition mechanism of G6PT remain unclear. Here, we report the cryo-EM structures of human G6PT in apo, G6P-bound, and the specific inhibitor chlorogenic acid (CHA)-bound forms, elucidating the structural basis for G6PT transport and inhibition. The G6P pocket comprises subsite A for phosphate and subsite B for glucose. The CHA occupies the G6P site and locks G6PT in a partly-occluded state. Functional assays demonstrate that G6PT activity is enhanced by co-expression of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC), but G6PT does not form a complex with G6PC. Together, this study provides a solid foundation for understanding the structureâfunction relationships and pathology of G6PT and sheds light on the future development of potential therapeutics targeting G6PT.
