Also known as CNT1
Summary
SLC28A1 (solute carrier family 28 member 1, HGNC:11001) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q25.3, encoding Sodium/nucleoside cotransporter 1 (O00337). Sodium and pyrimidine nucleoside symporter of the plasma membrane that imports uridine, thymidine and cytidine into cells by coupling their transport to the transmembrane sodium electrochemical gradient.
Enables azole transmembrane transporter activity; pyrimidine- and adenosine-specific:sodium symporter activity; and uridine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in azole transmembrane transport and nucleoside transport. Located in apical plasma membrane; cytosol; and nuclear speck.

Function. Sodium and pyrimidine nucleoside symporter of the plasma membrane that imports uridine, thymidine and cytidine into cells by coupling their transport to the transmembrane sodium electrochemical gradient. Also transports adenosine, an atypical substrate transported with high apparent affinity, but low maximum velocity. Therefore, exhibits the transport characteristics of the nucleoside transport system cit or N2 subtype (N2/cit). Involved in renal nucleoside (re)absorption.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in kidney.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated. N-glycosylation is required for localization to the plasma membrane and the transporter activity.
Disease relevance. Uridine-cytidineuria (URCTU) [MIM:618477] An autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism characterized by increased urinary uridine and cytidine excretion. It is a likely benign metabolic trait without clinical manifestations. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Due to its high apparent affinity but slow transport, adenosine could act as a negative regulator of pyrimidine transport under some conditions.
Polymorphism. All three alleles (A, B and C) have similar nucleoside transport activity.
Miscellaneous. Can also transport the antiviral pyrimidine nucleoside analogs 3’-azido-3’-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 2’,3’-dideoxycytidine (ddC). It may be involved in the intestinal absorption and renal handling of pyrimidine nucleoside analogs used to treat acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Similarity. Belongs to the concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT) (TC 2.A.41) family.
