SLC5A4 [ENSP00000266086]

Solute carrier family 5 member 4; Has electrogenic activity in response to glucose, and may function as a glucose sensor (PubMed:13130073, PubMed:17110502, PubMed:20421923, PubMed:22766068). Mediates influx of sodium ions into the cell but does not transport sugars (PubMed:13130073, PubMed:22766068). Also potently activated by imino sugars such as deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) (PubMed:17110502, PubMed:20421923, PubMed:22766068).
