Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable D-glucose:sodium symporter activity and alpha-glucoside transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in renal D-glucose absorption. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial renal glucosuria and renal glycosuria. Orthologous to human SLC5A2 (solute carrier family 5 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased urine glucose, increased eating and drinking behaviors, increased circulating renin activity, decreased urine osmolality, decreased serum aldosterone levels, polyuria, and decreased glucose renal reabsorption.
