Slc28a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable azole transmembrane transporter activity; pyrimidine- and adenosine-specific:sodium symporter activity; and uridine transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in azole transmembrane transport; nucleoside transport; and pyrimidine nucleobase transport. Located in brush border membrane. Is expressed in hemolymphoid system and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human SLC28A1 (solute carrier family 28 member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Slc28a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
