Solute carrier family 13 (sodium-dependent dicarboxylate transporter), member 3
Gene Summary
Mammalian sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporters transport succinate and other Krebs cycle intermediates. They fall into 2 categories based on their substrate affinity: low affinity and high affinity. Both the low- and high-affinity transporters play an important role in the handling of citrate by the kidneys. SLC13A3 represents the high-affinity form.
