Slc29a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity; purine nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity; and uridine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter uptake and nucleoside transport. Acts upstream of or within ADP catabolic process; AMP catabolic process; and nucleoside transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hemolymphoid system; hindlimb phalanx; liver; and skeletal musculature. Used to study alcohol dependence and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Orthologous to human SLC29A1 (solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group)).

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 Slc29a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
