Anti-S23A1

The absorption of vitamin C into the body and its distribution to organs requires two sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters. This gene encodes one of the two transporters. The encoded protein is active in bulk vitamin C transport involving epithelial surfaces. Previously, this gene had an official symbol of SLC23A2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008], Protein function: Sodium:ascorbate cotransporter. Mediates electrogenic uptake of vitamin C, with a stoichiometry of 2 Na(+) for each ascorbate (PubMed:10556483, PubMed:10556521, PubMed:10631088, PubMed:36749388). Has retained some ancestral activity toward nucleobases such as urate, an oxidized purine. Low-affinity high-capacity sodium:urate cotransporter, may regulate serum urate levels by serving as a renal urate re-absorber (PubMed:36749388).
