|
Function |
May hydrolyze glucose-6-phosphate to glucose in the endoplasmic reticulum. May be responsible for glucose production through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044018}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15044018}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Specifically expressed in pancreas and also detected to a lower extent in testis. Expressed by most islet cells in the pancreas (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11297555}.
