Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables D-glucose:sodium symporter activity. Involved in intestinal D-glucose absorption; regulation of transporter activity; and renal D-glucose absorption. Acts upstream of or within D-glucose transmembrane transport; intestinal absorption; and metanephros development. Located in apical plasma membrane and brush border. Is expressed in alimentary system; brain; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glucose-galactose malabsorption. Orthologous to human SLC5A1 (solute carrier family 5 member 1).
