Primary Identifier | MGI:1928369 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 56485 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables fructose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in cellular response to fructose stimulus; fructose import across plasma membrane; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure mediated by a chemical signal. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and metanephros. Orthologous to human SLC2A5 (solute carrier family 2 member 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal cochlear morphology and physiology with no detectable alterations in outer hair cell morphology, electromotility or nonlinear capacitance.
