Glucose Galactose Malabsorptions

1.Glucose Galactose Malabsorptions is a rare metabolic disease. This disease is associated with nonfunctioning or malfunctioning of SGLT1 gene which causes accumulation of glucose and galactose in the intestinal lumen which leads to diarrhea and possible death if diete is not changed.

2. Gene's name: SGLT1, Gene ID: 723986

3.SGLT1 gene is located on chromosome 22 and its function is to move glucose and the galactose, the products of lactose, from the lumen of the small intestine into intestinal cells.

  1. On Entrez Gene, the Gene ID I found is
    SLC5A1 solute carrier family 5 (sodium/glucose cotransporter), member 1 [ Homo sapiens ]
    GeneID: 6523

    Your gene ID 723986 is SGLT1, but this gene is from the turkey genome - gobble gobble!
