Predicted to enable symporter activity. Involved in adult feeding behavior and behavioral response to nutrient. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult anterior midgut epithelium; adult brain; adult gnathal ganglion; ellipsoid body; and organism subdivision. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital hypothyroidism and thyroid dyshormonogenesis 1. Orthologous to human SLC5A12 (solute carrier family 5 member 12); SLC5A5 (solute carrier family 5 member 5); and SLC5A8 (solute carrier family 5 member 8).
