    Title: Intestinal sodium/glucose cotransporter 3 expression is epithelial and downregulated in obesity.
  2. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of several extended pedigrees with high density of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) identified a triplet ATG deletion in SLC5A4 leading to a single amino acid loss (DeltaM500) in the hSGLT3 protein imperfectly co-segregating with the clinical phenotype of ADHD. [DeltaM500] in hSGLT3 inhibits membrane targeting and thus largely disrupts glucose-induced sodium conductance.

  3. Data suggest SGLT3 in neurons of portal vein wall plays role in sensing blood glucose level and in satiety response; dietary protein indirectly affects satiety response via up-regulation of intestinal gluconeogenesis and thus blood glucose. [REVIEW]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
