Biology:SLC13A5
 Generic protein structure example |
Solute carrier family 13 (sodium-dependent citrate transporter), member 5 also known as the Na+/citrate cotransporter or mIndy is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC13A5 gene.[1] It is the mammalian homolog of the fly Indy gene.
Function
SLC13A5 is a tricarboxylate plasma transporter with a preference for citrate.[1]
Clinical significance
In 2014, by means of exome sequencing it was determined that a genetic mutation of the SLC13A5 gene is the cause of a rare citrate transporter disorder.[2] Mutations in SLC13A5 cause autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy with seizure onset in the first days of life.[2] Those afflicted suffer from seizures, global developmental delay, movement disorder and hypotonia.
Reduced expression of this gene is associated with longer lifespan in many organisms, including some non-human primates. Increased expression is associated with type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. A sugary diet upregulates the expression of the gene, and so does Interleukin 6 signaling.[3]
