Hexose transporter; capable of transporting a broad range of substrates including: glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose; polyol transporter that supports the growth on and uptake of xylitol with low affinity when overexpressed in a strain deleted for hexose family members; nearly identical in sequence to Hxt9p; has similarity to major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters; involved in pleiotropic drug resistance
