SLC5A1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**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.

**Synonyms:** - D22S675 - NAGT - Na+/Glucose Cotransporter, High Affinity Gene - SGLT1 - Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter, Intestinal Gene - Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter 1 Gene - Solute Carrier Family 5 (Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter), Member 1 wt Allele
