1 The gene associated with Rogers syndrome encodes for a plasma membrane thiamine transporter, THTR-1, a member of the solute carrier family that includes its homologue THTR-2 and the reduced folate carrier. Folic Acid solute carrier family 19 member 2 Homo sapiens
2 The transport activity of the transfected THTR-1 proteins was measured using a [(3) H] thiamine uptake assay. Thiamine solute carrier family 19 member 2 Homo sapiens
3 In contrast to its fully glycosylated wild-type mature protein, the mutant THTR-1 protein underwent only the initial stage of N-linked glycosylation. Nitrogen solute carrier family 19 member 2 Homo sapiens
4 Finally, transfection studies revealed that the mutant G172D THTR-1 failed to transport thiamine. Thiamine solute carrier family 19 member 2 Homo sapiens
