Target intelligence / Profile preview

Solute Carrier Family 23 Member 1 (SLC23A1)

Target: SLC23A1
Molecular classification: Transporter, Solute Carrier, Major Facilitator Superfamily

Overview

Solute carrier family 23 member 1 (SLC23A1) is a membrane protein that functions as a sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter, specifically mediating the electrogenic uptake of ascorbate (vitamin C) across epithelial surfaces. This protein plays a critical role in the absorption and distribution of vitamin C throughout the body, particularly at sites such as the intestine and kidney.

Other names: hSVCT1Na(+)/L-ascorbic acid transporter 1Sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 1SVCT1Yolk sac permease-like molecule 3 (YSPL3)
