A molecule of extracellular bile salt (glyco- or taurocholate or taurochenodeoxycholate) or bile acid (cholate or chenodeoxycholate) is transported into the cytosol, mediated by OATP-A (SLCO1A2) in the plasma membrane. Bile salts and acids exist in the blood as complexes with serum albumin, and their uptake by OATP-A must involve disruption of this complex, but the molecular mechanism coupling release of a bile salt or acid from albumin to its uptake by OATP-A is unknown. In the body, OATP-A is expressed only at low levels on the basolateral surfaces of hepatocytes and may play only a minor role in the uptake of bile salts and acids by the liver (Kullak-Ublick et al. 2004; Trauner and Boyer 2002).
A molecule of extracellular glycocholate or taurocholate is transported into the cytosol, mediated by OATP-C (SLCO1B1) in the plasma membrane. Glyco- and taurocholate exist in the blood as complexes with serum albumin, and its uptake by OATP-C must involve disruption of this complex, but the molecular mechanism coupling disruption and uptake is unknown. In the body, OATP-C is expressed on the basolateral surfaces of hepatocytes and may play a role in the uptake of glyco- and taurocholate by the liver under physiological conditions (Kullak-Ublick et al. 2004; Trauner and Boyer 2002).
A molecule of extracellular glycocholate or taurocholate is transported into the cytosol, mediated by OATP-8 (SLCO1B3) in the plasma membrane. Glycocholate and taurocholate exist in the blood as complexes with serum albumin, and their uptake by OATP-8 must involve disruption of these complexes, but the molecular mechanism coupling disruption and uptake is unknown. In the body, OATP-8 is expressed on the basolateral surfaces of hepatocytes and may play a role in the uptake of glycocholate and taurocholate by the liver under physiological conditions (Kullak-Ublick et al. 2004; Trauner and Boyer 2002).
The plasma membrane-associated protein SLC29A1 mediates the reversible transport of one molecule of adenosine, cytosine, guanosine, inosine, thymidine, or uridine from the extracellular space to the cytosol.
The plasma membrane-associated protein SLC29A2 mediates the reversible transport of one molecule of adenine, adenosine, cytidine, cytosine, guanine, guanosine, hypoxanthine, inosine, thymidine, thymine, uracil, or uridine from the cytosol to the extracellular space.
The plasma membrane-associated protein SLC28A3 mediates the transport of one molecule of adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, inosine, thymidine, or uridine, and two sodium ions, from the extracellular space to the cytosol.
The plasma membrane-associated protein SLC28A2 mediates the transport of one molecule of adenosine, guanosine, inosine, or uridine, and one sodium ion, from the extracellular space to the cytosol.
The human gene SLC35A1 encodes the CMP-sialic acid transporter which mediates the antiport of CMP-sialic acid into the Golgi lumen in exchange for CMP (Ishida N et al, 1996). Defects in SLC35A1 are the cause of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2F (CDG2F). CDGs are a family of severe inherited diseases caused by a defect in protein N-glycosylation (Martinez-Duncker I et al, 2005).
The human gene SLC35D2 encodes the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine/UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose transporter (UGTREL8; homolog of Fringe connection protein 1, HFRC1). It resides on the Golgi membrane where it mediates the antiport of GDP-mannose into the Golgi lumen in exchange for GMP (Suda T et al, 2004; Ishida N et al, 2005).
The human gene SLC35A3 encodes the UDP-GlcNAc transporter (Ishida N et al, 1999). It is ubiquitously expressed and resides on the Golgi membrane where it transports UDP- N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) into the Golgi lumen in exchange for UMP.
The human gene SLC29A4 encodes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 4 (ENT4). It is ubiquitously expressed and mediates the reversible transport of the nucleoside adenosine at acidic pH (this transport is absent at pH 7.4) (Barnes K et al, 2006). ENT4 has also been shown to mediate the transport of biogenic amines such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. For this reason, ENT4 is also known as the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) (Engel K et al, 2004).
The human gene SLC29A3 encodes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (ENT3). It is abundant in many tissues, especially the placenta and is localized intracellularly on the lysosomal membrane. ENT3 mediates the reversible transport of nucleosides and the nucleobase adenine (Baldwin SA et al, 2005). Defects in SLC29A3 are the cause of H syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder(Molho-Pessach V et al, 2008).
The human gene SLC33A1 encodes acetyl-CoA transporter AT1 (Kanamori A et al, 1997).Acetyl-CoA is transported to the lumen of the Golgi apparatus, where it serves as the substrate of acetyltransferases that modify the sialyl residues of gangliosides and glycoproteins. Defects in SLC33A1 are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 42 (SPG42) which is a neurodegenerative disorder (Lin P et al, 2008).
The human gene SLC35B2 encodes the adenosine 3'-phospho 5'-phosphosulfate transporter 1 (PAPST1) (Ozeran et al. 1996, Kamiyama et al. 2003). In human tissues, PAPST1 is highly expressed in the placenta and pancreas and present at lower levels in the colon and heart. The human gene SLC35B3 encodes a human PAPS transporter gene that is closely related to PAPST1. Called PAPST2, it is predominantly expressed in the colon (Kamiyama et al. 2006).
The human gene SLC35C1 encodes the GDP-fucose transporter FUCT1. It resides on the Golgi membrane and mediates the transport of UDP-fucose into the Golgi lumen. Defects in SLC35C1 causes the congenital disorder of glycosylation type 2C, also known as leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD2) (Lubke T et al, 2001).
The human gene SLC35D2 encodes the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine/UDP-glucose/GDP-mannose transporter (UGTREL8; homolog of Fringe connection protein 1, HFRC1). It resides on the Golgi membrane where it mediates the transport of nucleotide sugars such as UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-glucose into the Golgi lumen in exchange for UMP (Suda et al. 2004, Ishida et al. 2005).
The human gene SLC35A2 encodes the UDP-galactose transporter (Miura N et al, 1996). It is located on the Golgi membrane and mediates the antiport of UDP-Gal into the Golgi lumen in exchange for UMP. This transporter is also known to transport UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) in the same way as UDP-Gal (Segawa H et al, 2002).
The human gene SLC35B4 encodes the bifunctional UDP-xylose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transporter YEA4. YEA4 resides on the Golgi membrane and mediates the influx of UDP-xylose into the lumen (Ashikov A et al, 2005).
The human gene SLC29A4 encodes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 4 (ENT4). It is ubiquitously expressed and mediates the reversible transport of the nucleoside adenosine at acidic pH (this transport is absent at pH 7.4) (Barnes K et al, 2006). ENT4 has also been shown to mediate the transport of biogenic amines such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. For this reason, ENT4 is also known as the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) (Engel K et al, 2004).
Biotin (vitamin H or B7) is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin. Biotin is a cofactor in the metabolism of fatty acids and leucine, and it plays a role in gluconeogenesis. D-Pantothoate (vitamin B5), is a water-soluble vitamin needed to form coenzyme-A (CoA), and is critical in the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Lipoic acid is an organosulfur compound, the R-enantiomer of which is an essential cofactor for many enzyme complexes.
The human SLC5A6 encodes the Na+-dependent multivitamin transporter SMVT (Prasad PD et al, 1999; Wang H et al, 1999). SMVT co-transports these vitamins/cofactors into cells with Na+ ions electrogenically.
The human gene SLC35B4 encodes the bifunctional UDP-xylose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transporter YEA4. YEA4 resides on the Golgi membrane and mediates the influx of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine into the lumen (Ashikov A et al, 2005).
The human gene SLC29A3 encodes the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (ENT3). It is abundant in many tissues, especially the placenta and is localized intracellularly on the lysosomal membrane. ENT3 mediates the reversible transport of nucleosides and the nucleobase adenine (Baldwin SA et al, 2005). Defects in SLC29A3 are the cause of H syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder(Molho-Pessach V et al, 2008).
The human gene SLCO2A1 encodes prostaglandin transporter PGT. It is ubiquitously expressed and can transport PGD2, PGE1, PGE2 and PGF2A (Lu R et al, 1996).
Of the six fatty acid transporter proteins (FATP) characterized, only three have been shown to mediate the influx into cells of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs); FATP1, 4 and 6. They have been shown to transport the prototypical LCFA oleic acid (OLEA) but are believed to be able to transport LCFAs with chain lengths longer than 10 carbons. FATP1 is highly expressed in adipose tissue and muscle (Hatch GM et al, 2002). FATP4 is the major intestinal LCFA transporter (Fitscher BA et al, 1998; Stahl A et al, 1999). FATP6 is localized to cardiac myocytes (Gimeno RE et al, 2003).
The human gene SLCO3A1 encodes the organic anion transporting polypeptide D. Several variants are expressed but isoform 1 is ubiquitous and can transport a range of substrates including the prostaglandins E1 and E2, thyroxine and vasopressin (AVP) (Huber RD et al, 2007).
SLCO2B1 (formerly OATP-B) is abundantly expressed in human liver, where it is localized at the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes. It has a narrow substrate range, able to transport bromosulphophthalein (BSP), estrone-3-sulphate and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS) (Kullak-Ublick GA et al, 2001).
Digoxin is a commonly prescribed drug for the treatment of heart failure. It is mainly eliminated from the body by the kidneys. Human SLCO4C1 (formerly OATP-H) is the first member of the organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) family expressed in human kidney. It is found on the baolateral membrane of the nephron and is thought to be the first step of the transport of digoxin into urine (Mikkaichi T et al, 2004).
Three organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs; now called solute carrier organic anion transporters, SLCOs) are able to mediate the transport of thryoid hormones, predominantly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) (Fujiwara K et al, 2001). SLCO1B1 (formerly OATP-C), which can also transport bile salts, is mainly expressed in the liver (Abe T et al, 1999; Hsiang B et al, 1999). SLCO4A1 (formerly OATP-E) is mainly expressed in peripheral tissue and has a broad substrate specificty (Tamai I et al, 2000). SLCO1C1 (formerly OATP-F) is highly expressed in brain and is also a high affinity thyroid hormone transporter (Pizzagalli F et al, 2002).
The human gene SLC35D1 encodes the UDP-glucuronic acid transporter which transports both UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcA) and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (UDP-GalNAc) from the cytoplasm into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (Muraoka et al. 2001).
The plasma membrane-associated protein SLC28A1 mediates the transport of one molecule of 2'-deoxyadenosine, adenosine, cytidine, thymidine, or uridine, and one sodium ion, from the extracellular space to the cytosol.
The plasma membrane-associated protein SLC29A1 mediates the reversible transport of one molecule of adenosine, guanosine, inosine, or uridine from the cytosol to the extracellular space.
