Sodium sulfate symporters are integral membrane proteins that mediate the intake of a wide variety of molecules with the concomitant uptake of sodium ions. These sodium symporters can be grouped, on the basis of sequence and functional similarities into a number of distinct families. One of these families, also known as SLC13 transporters, consists of the following proteins:

  • Mammalian sodium/sulphate cotransporter.[1]
  • Mammalian renal sodium/dicarboxylate cotransporter,[2] which transports succinate and citrate.
  • Mammalian intestinal sodium/dicarboxylate cotransporter.
  • Chlamydomonas reinhardtii putative sulphur deprivation response regulator SAC1.[3]

This family also includes a number of bacterial symporters.
