Slc5a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Slc5a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
