A0A1I9LLQ5_ARATH | function | Mediates both low-affinity uptake and efflux of sugar across the membrane. |
SWT16_ARATH | function | Mediates both low-affinity uptake and efflux of sugar across the vacuolar membrane. Regulates sugars homeostasis in leaves and roots by exporting/importing them through the tonoplast regarding metabolic demand (PubMed:24028846). Acts as a vacuolar hexose transporter, such as glucose (Glc), fructose (Fru), and sucrose (Suc) (PubMed:24028846, PubMed:24381066, PubMed:25988582). |
A0A1I9LLQ5_ARATH A0A1I9LLQ4_ARATH SWT16_ARATH | similarity | Belongs to the SWEET sugar transporter family. |
SWT16_ARATH | tissue specificity | Mostly expressed in the cortex of mature roots, and, to a lower extent, in aerial organs such as leaves, stems, and flowers (PubMed:24381066). Mainly present in vascular parenchyma cells, especially in the petiole vasculature, flower stalks and at the base of individual, not fully developed flowers (PubMed:24028846). |
