UniProt Comments
Glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P) transporter. Transports also inorganic phosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate, triose phosphates and, to a leser extent, phosphoenolpyruvate. Responsible for the transport of Glc6P into plastids of heterotrophic tissues where it can be used as a carbon source for starch biosynthesis, as substrate for fatty acid biosynthesis or as substrate for NADPH generation via the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPPP). Required for pollen maturation and embryo sac development.
