Solute carrier family 37 (glucose-6-phosphate transporter), member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC37A1 gene.[1] SLC37A1 locates to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and is a glucose 6-phosphate:inorganic phosphate antiporter, transporting glucose 6-phosphate from the cytoplasm into the lumen of the ER, while transporting phosphate in the opposite direction.[2]

Unlike the related SLC37A4 protein, SLC37A1 does not appear to be involved in blood glucose homeostasis[3], but does appear to regulate phosphate levels in the milk of cows, with flow-on effects on the volume of milk produced.[4]
