Slc5a6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables pantothenate transmembrane transporter activity; solute:sodium symporter activity; and sulfur compound transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in biotin metabolic process and pantothenate transmembrane transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; choroid plexus; pericardium; pituitary gland; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human SLC5A6 (solute carrier family 5 member 6). [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 Slc5a6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
