Slc23a2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables L-ascorbate:sodium symporter activity and L-ascorbic acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including L-ascorbic acid transmembrane transport; cellular response to ethanol; and positive regulation of dendrite extension. Located in basal plasma membrane and cytoplasm. Orthologous to human SLC23A2 (solute carrier family 23 member 2). [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 rat Slc23a2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
