Biology:Sialin

From HandWiki

Sialin, also known as H(+)/nitrate cotransporter and H(+)/sialic acid cotransporter, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC17A5 gene.[1][2][3]

In a 2001 study of the experimental group-B-streptococcal polysaccharide CM101, the human SLC17A5 gene product was called HP59 (with a sheep sequence called SP55).[4]

Clinical significance

A deficiency of this protein causes Salla disease.[3][5] and Infantile Sialic Acid Storage Disease (ISSD).

The gene for HP59 contains, entirely within its coding region, the Sialin Gene SLC17A5. Member 5, also known as SLC17A5 or sialin is a lysosomal membrane sialic acid transport protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC17A5 gene on Chromosome 6[6][7][8]
