Predicted to enable hexose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in glucose transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in hypodermis; intestinal cell; muscle cell; neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; Hirschsprung's disease; artery disease (multiple); and brain disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SLC2A14 (solute carrier family 2 member 14) and SLC2A3 (solute carrier family 2 member 3).
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.
