Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Solute carrier family 17 member 9 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC17A9
gene.
[5]
Function
This gene encodes a member of a family of
transmembrane proteins that are involved in the transport of
small molecules. The encoded protein participates in the vesicular uptake, storage, and secretion of
adenoside triphosphate (ATP) and other
nucleotides. A
mutation in this gene was found in individuals with autosomal dominant
disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis-8. Alternative splicing results in multiple
transcript variants.
