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. [5] It is the mammalian homolog of the fly Indy gene.

Contents

Function

SLC13A5 is a tricarboxylate plasma transporter with a preference for citrate. [5]

Clinical significance

In 2014, by means of exome sequencing it was determined that a genetic mutation of the gene is the cause of a rare SLC13A5 Epilepsy. [6] Mutations in SLC13A5 cause autosomal recessive epileptic encephalopathy with seizure onset in the first days of life. [6] Those afflicted suffer from seizures, global developmental delay, movement disorder and hypotonia.

Reduced expression of homologous genes is associated with longer lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans, [7] [8] and obesity protection in laboratory mice. [9] 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. [10]
