Description
Product Characteristics: FUNCTION: Sodium-phosphate symporter which plays a fundamental housekeeping role in phosphate transport, such as absorbing phosphate from interstitial fluid for normal cellular functions such as cellular metabolism, signal transduction, and nucleic acid and lipid synthesis. May play a role in extracellular matrix and cartilage calcification as well as in vascular calcification. May function as a retroviral receptor but do not confer infection susceptibility to Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus (GaLV), Simian sarcoma-associated virus (SSAV) and Feline leukemia virus subgroup B (FeLV-B). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed.,SLC20 Family,Gibbon ape leukemia virus receptor 1, GLVR-1, Leukemia virus receptor 1 homolog, Phosphate transporter 1, PiT-1, Solute carrier family 20 member 1, GLVR1, PIT1
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a sodium-phosphate symporter that absorbs phosphate from interstitial fluid for use in cellular functions such as metabolism, signal transduction, and nucleic acid and lipid synthesis. The encoded protein is also a retroviral receptor, causing human cells to be susceptible to infection by gibbon ape leukemia virus, simian sarcoma-associated virus, feline leukemia virus subgroup B, and 10A1 murine leukemia virus.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
