Enables D-glucose transmembrane transporter activity and pentose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in D-glucose transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC2A6 (solute carrier family 2 member 6) and SLC2A8 (solute carrier family 2 member 8).
SGD Description
High-affinity glucose transporter; member of the major facilitator superfamily, nearly identical to Hxt6p, expressed at high basal levels relative to other HXTs, expression repressed by high glucose levels; HXT7 has a paralog, HXT4, that arose from the whole genome duplication
