Slc19a2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable thiamine transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including pyridoxine transport; thiamine diphosphate biosynthetic process; and thiamine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetes mellitus; megaloblastic anemia; and thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome. Orthologous to human SLC19A2 (solute carrier family 19 member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Slc19a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
