Disease relevance of SLC37A1

 

High impact information on SLC37A1

  • Using the x-ray structure of the glycerol 3-phosphate transporter (GlpT), we devised a model for the distantly related oxalate transporter, OxlT [3].
  • In other bacteria, GlpQ hydrolyzes deacylated phospholipids to glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) while GlpT transports G3P into the cytoplasm [1].
  • Thus SLC37A1 mutations may cause a phenotype similar to GK deficiency [4].
  • 3. Mutation analyses also excluded SLC37A1 as the gene for DFNB10 [4].
  • Comparison of the SLC37A1 cDNA to genomic sequence revealed that the gene encompasses 82 kb, and it is split into 19 coding exons and 7 untranslated exons, which are alternatively spliced in a complex and tissue-specific manner [4].
