SLC2A13


Description

The SLC2A13 (solute carrier family 2 member 13) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.

The SLC2A13 gene in humans encodes a protein known as the proton myo-inositol cotransporter. This protein plays a role in the transport of myo-inositol, a crucial sugar alcohol involved in various cellular processes.

The SLC2A13 gene encodes a protein that acts as a proton-myo-inositol cotransporter. This protein facilitates the simultaneous transport of protons (H+) and myo-inositol across cell membranes. Additionally, it can transport related stereoisomers, molecules with the same chemical formula but different spatial arrangements of atoms.

SLC2A13 is also known as HMIT.
