SLC13A3 solute carrier family 13 member 3

Gene ID: 64849, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: NaC3; NADC3; SDCT2; ARLIAK

Summary

Mammalian sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporters transport succinate and other Krebs cycle intermediates. They fall into 2 categories based on their substrate affinity: low affinity and high affinity. Both the low- and high-affinity transporters play an important role in the handling of citrate by the kidneys. The protein encoded by this gene represents the high-affinity form. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, although the full-length nature of some of them have not been characterized yet.
