TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a protein with high affinity, hexose-specific/H+ symporter activity. The activity of the transporter appears to be negatively regulated by phosphorylation. Importantly, microarray analysis, as well as the study of the expression of this gene in mutants involved in programmed cell death (PCD) demonstrated a tight correlation between this gene's expression and PCD.
