NCIt synonyms : Solute Carrier Family 5 (Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter), Member 1 wt Allele; NAGT; Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter 1 Gene; SGLT1; D22S675; Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter, Intestinal Gene; Na /Glucose Cotransporter, High Affinity Gene;
NCIt definition : Human SLC5A1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of either 22q13.1 or 22q12.3
and is approximately 67 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium/glucose cotransporter
1 protein, plays a role in the modulation of cellular levels of glucose and galactose.
Mutation of the gene is associated with congenital glucose/galactose malabsorption.;
