Gene information for SLC23A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9963
Official gene symbolSLC23A1
Full namesolute carrier family 23 (nucleobase transporters), member 1
Aliases,MGC22361,SLC23A2,SVCT1,YSPL3,
Gene summaryThe absorption of vitamin C into the body and its distribution to organs requires two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters. This gene encodes one of the two transporters. The encoded protein is active in bulk vitamin C transport involving epithelial surfaces. Previously, this gene had an official symbol of SLC23A2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
