Unc-93 homolog A (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC93A gene. [5]

Unc93A is a major facilitator superfamily (MFS), and a putative solute carrier in humans. [6] [7] It belongs to the atypical SLCs that was recently listed. [6] It is therefore presumed that UNC93A is a transporter protein.

UNC93A is closely related to UNC93B1 and MFSD11. [8] [9]

UNC93A is affected by amino acid deprivation in cell cortex cultures [7] [8] and starvation in in vivo samples. [8]

It is expressed in neurons, with staining close to the plasma membrane. [8]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Battenin</span> Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Battenin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLN3 gene located on chromosome 16. Battenin is not clustered into any Pfam clan, but it is included in the TCDB suggesting that it is a transporter. In humans, it belongs to the atypical SLCs due to its structural and phylogenetic similarity to other SLC transporters.

The solute carrier (SLC) group of membrane transport proteins include over 400 members organized into 66 families. Most members of the SLC group are located in the cell membrane. The SLC gene nomenclature system was originally proposed by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) and is the basis for the official HGNC names of the genes that encode these transporters. A more general transmembrane transporter classification can be found in TCDB database.

Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2 -- also known as sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine symporter 1 -- is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MFSD2A gene. MFSD2A is a membrane transport protein that is expressed in the endothelium of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and has an essential role in BBB formation and function. Genetic ablation of MFSD2A results in leaky BBB and increases central nervous system endothelial cell vesicular transcytosis without otherwise affecting tight junctions. MFSD2A is an atypical SLC, thus a predicted SLC transporter. It clusters phylogenetically to AMTF8.

It is predicted to be 444 amino acyl residues in length and exhibits 10 putative transmembrane α-helical segments. The KX blood group antigen mRNA expression pattern correlates with McLeod syndrome.
