Slc34a3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables sodium:phosphate symporter activity. Involved in response to magnesium ion; response to nutrient levels; and sodium-dependent phosphate transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and brush border membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria. Orthologous to human SLC34A3 (solute carrier family 34 member 3). [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 Slc34a3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
