Summary: Enables D-glucose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in glucose import in response to insulin stimulus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including amylopectin biosynthetic process; brown fat cell differentiation; and cellular response to tumor necrosis factor. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; extracellular exosome; and sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. 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, Dec 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.
