Summary
Enables D-glucose uniporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hypoxia; glucose import in response to insulin stimulus; and regulation of synaptic vesicle budding from presynaptic endocytic zone membrane. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on long-term memory. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on short-term memory. Acts upstream of or within learning or memory and positive regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; clathrin-coated pit; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is active in presynapse. Biomarker of pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SLC2A4 (solute carrier family 2 member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
