Predicted to enable symporter activity. Predicted to be involved in sodium ion transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in several structures, including intestine; nervous system; non-striated muscle; pharynx; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thyroid dyshormonogenesis 1. Is an ortholog of human SLC5A12 (solute carrier family 5 member 12) and SLC5A8 (solute carrier family 5 member 8).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
