SLC35A5 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a transmembrane protein which belongs to subfamily 35A of the solute carrier superfamily. The encoded protein is a nucleoside-sugar transporter. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

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 human SLC35A5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
