UniProt Comments
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:25988582, PubMed:24381066, PubMed:24028846).
