function:Transports pantothenate, biotin and lipoate in the presence of sodium.,similarity:Belongs to the sodium:solute symporter (SSF) (TC 2.A.21) family., Protein function: Sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter that mediates the electrogenic transport of pantothenate, biotin, lipoate and iodide (PubMed:10329687, PubMed:15561972, PubMed:19211916, PubMed:21570947, PubMed:20980265, PubMed:22015582, PubMed:25971966, PubMed:25809983, PubMed:28052864, PubMed:27904971, PubMed:31754459). Functions as a Na(+)-coupled substrate symporter where the stoichiometry of Na(+):substrate is 2:1, creating an electrochemical Na(+) gradient used as driving force for substrate uptake (PubMed:10329687, PubMed:20980265). Required for biotin and pantothenate uptake in the intestine across the brush border membrane (PubMed:19211916). Plays a role in the maintenance of intestinal mucosa integrity, by providing the gut mucosa with biotin. Contributes to the luminal uptake of biotin and pantothenate into the brain across the blood-brain barrier (PubMed:25809983).
