SLC52A3 solute carrier family 52 member 3

Gene ID: 113278, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RFT2; BVVLS; RFVT3; hRFT2; BVVLS1; C20orf54; bA371L19.1

Summary

This gene encodes a riboflavin transporter protein that is strongly expressed in the intestine and likely plays a role in intestinal absorption of riboflavin. The protein is predicted to have eleven transmembrane domains and a cell surface localization signal in the C-terminus. Mutations at this locus have been associated with Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome and Fazio-Londe disease. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
