Summary: Predicted to enable hexose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in D-glucose transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in intestinal cell and pharyngeal muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in epilepsy (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); glycogen storage disease; myelomeningocele; and obesity. Orthologous to several human genes including SLC2A14 (solute carrier family 2 member 14) and SLC2A3 (solute carrier family 2 member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
