GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC29A3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ENT3, FLJ11160
Description
Solute carrier family 29 (equilibrative nucleoside transporter), member 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a nucleoside transporter. The encoded protein plays a role in cellular uptake of nucleosides, nucleobases, and their related analogs. Mutations in this gene have been associated with H syndrome, which is characterized by cutaneous hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis, hepatosplenomegaly, heart anomalies, and hypogonadism. A related disorder, PHID (pigmented hypertrichosis with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus), has also been associated with mutations at this locus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
