solute carrier family 17 member 5

Gene Summary

Enables sialic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in sialic acid transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle; cytosol; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in apical plasma membrane; bounding membrane of organelle; and glutamatergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in sialuria. Orthologous to human SLC17A5 (solute carrier family 17 member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
