Solute carrier family 35 member E4 (SLC35E4)

Target
SLC35E4
Molecular classification
Transporter, Solute carrier family (SLC), Nucleotide sugar transporter (putative, orphan SLC35 subfamily)
01

Overview

SLC35E4 is a putative nucleotide sugar transporter and member of the solute carrier family 35 (subfamily E) of membrane proteins. It localizes predominantly to the Golgi apparatus and is predicted to mediate transmembrane transport processes, potentially via an antiporter mechanism. The protein’s precise substrate and physiological function remain undefined, and functional characterization is limited; it is classified as an orphan transporter within the SLC35 family. Disease associations are currently minimal, and no drugs or clinical interventions directly interact with SLC35E4.

02

Mechanism of action

No drugs are known to target SLC35E4; for the SLC35 family, the mechanism is typically transport of nucleotide-conjugated sugars into the Golgi lumen, but SLC35E4’s substrate and exact mechanism are currently unknown

03

Biological functions

Transmembrane transportGolgi apparatus functionPutative antiporter activity (exchange of nucleoside monophosphates for nucleoside diphosphate-conjugated sugars, based on family function)
04

Disease associations

Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase deficiency (listed in one database, but direct mechanistic involvement is not established)
