Solute carrier family 43 member 3 (SLC43A3) belongs to an amino acid transporter family. It is expressed in fetal liver, kidney, placenta and lung. It is considered as a facilitative and purine-selective nucleobase transporter. The gene is located on human chromosome 11q12.1.

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Solute carrier family 43 member 3 (SLC43A3) aids the cellular uptake of extracellular purine nucleobases in assistance with salvage enzymes. SLC43A3 along with salvage enzymes helps in tumor growth and proliferation. It helps in the uptake of ganciclovir (GCV) and improves the activity of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK)/GCV suicide gene therapy. The protein helps in the transport of nutrients, which is required for the early development and growth.
