HXT17

Species
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Symbol
HXT17
Name
HeXose Transporter
Synonyms
  • HLT4
  • YNR072W
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables D-glucose transmembrane transporter activity; fructose transmembrane transporter activity; and mannose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in hexose transmembrane transport; mannitol transmembrane transport; and sorbitol transmembrane transport. Located in cell periphery and fungal-type vacuole. Orthologous to human SLC2A6 (solute carrier family 2 member 6) and SLC2A8 (solute carrier family 2 member 8).
SGD Description
Putative transmembrane polyol transporter; supports growth on and uptake of mannitol and sorbitol with moderate affinity when overexpressed in a strain deleted for hexose family members; minor hexose transport activity when overexpressed in a similar strain; induced by raffinose and galactose at pH 7.7 versus pH 4.7, repressed by high levels of glucose; HXT17 has a paralog, HXT13, that arose from a segmental duplication
