Function
S43A3_HUMAN Sodium-independent purine-selective nucleobase transporter which mediates the equilibrative transport of extracellular purine nucleobases such as adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine (PubMed:26455426, PubMed:32339528). May regulate fatty acid (FA) transport in adipocytes, acting as a positive regulator of FA efflux and as a negative regulator of FA uptake (By similarity).[UniProtKB:A2AVZ9][1] [2] Sodium-independent purine-selective nucleobase transporter which mediates the equilibrative transport of extracellular purine nucleobase adenine (PubMed:30910793). Mediates the influx and efflux of the purine nucleobase analog drug 6-mercaptopurine across the membrane (PubMed:30910793).[3] Sodium-independent purine-selective nucleobase transporter which mediates the equilibrative transport of extracellular purine nucleobase adenine (PubMed:30910793). Mediates the influx and efflux of the purine nucleobase analog drug 6-mercaptopurine across the membrane (PubMed:30910793).[4]
