SLC59A1

Protein name: MFSD2A Aliases: MFSD2 Substrates: LPC (lysophosphatidylcholine) form of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) [PMID: 24828044] Transport type: Cotransporter / LPC:Na+, uptake [PMID: 24828044] Tissue and cellular expression: Brain, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, mammary gland, prostate [PMID: 18694395]. Relative low expression in BAT (brown adipose tissue), but upregulated during cold-induced thermogenesis [PMID: 18694395]. Subcellular expression: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) [PMID: 18694395] Disease: Progressive microcephaly syndrome [PMID: 26005865]. Physiologically, might play a role in blood-brain barrier (BBB) drug delivery [PMID: 24828040] [PMID: 26747400], and is the syncytin-2 receptor [PMID: 23177091] Locus: 1p34.2 Sequence ID: NP_001129965.1, NM_001136493.2 NP_001274737.1, NM_001287808.1 NP_001274738.1, NM_001287809.1 NP_116182.2, NM_032793.4 Gene ID: 84879 Splice variants: N/D
