solute carrier family 2 member 1

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including D-glucose transmembrane transporter activity; dehydroascorbic acid transmembrane transporter activity; and xenobiotic transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including D-glucose import; cellular response to mechanical stimulus; and dehydroascorbic acid transport. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; basolateral plasma membrane; and intercalated disc. Biomarker of hypertension; hypothyroidism; and middle cerebral artery infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in childhood absence epilepsy; glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (multiple); myelomeningocele; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SLC2A1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
