Solute carrier family 5 member 4 (SLC5A4)

Has electrogenic action in response to glucose, and may be the 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).

Additionally potently activated by imino sugars like deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) (PubMed:17110502, PubMed:20421923, PubMed:22766068). .
