Gene: SLC5A1
Alternate names for this Gene: D22S675|NAGT|SGLT1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT) family. The encoded integral membrane protein is the primary mediator of dietary glucose and galactose uptake from the intestinal lumen. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glucose-galactose malabsorption. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 22
Location in Chromosome : 22q12.3
Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 5 member 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
