SLC35G1

SLC35G1, a member of the solute carrier family 35 (SLC35), possesses multiple transmembrane domains that enable it to embed into the cell membrane, forming specific channels or transporters. Through this structure, SLC35G1 regulates the transport of specific solutes across the cell membrane, playing a pivotal role in cell metabolism and signal transduction. As a solute carrier, SLC35G1 is primarily responsible for transporting crucial molecules such as nucleotide sugars. These molecules play a vital role in glycosylation processes and are essential components of numerous biosynthetic pathways. Therefore, the function of SLC35G1 is closely linked to glycosylation, protein modification, and cell metabolism. By regulating the transport of nucleotide sugars, SLC35G1 may influence cell growth, differentiation, and interactions with other cells. Members of the solute carrier family often interact with other membrane proteins and signaling molecules, and SLC35G1 may also form complexes with other molecules to jointly regulate the activation and inhibition of signaling pathways. These interactions may involve intracellular signaling transduction pathways, such as kinase cascades and transcription factor activation.

SLC17A5, a member of the solute carrier family 17, is a transmembrane protein characterized by multiple transmembrane domains. These domains enable SLC17A5 to form channels or transporters on the cell membrane, regulating the transport of specific substances between the intracellular and extracellular environments. The protein encoded by the SLC17A5 gene is known as Sialin, which plays a pivotal role in the transport and regulation of solutes in the nervous system and muscles. At the cell membrane, Sialin is responsible for the transport of sialic acid, a substance that performs crucial functions in the nervous system. By regulating the transport of sialic acid, Sialin influences the normal function and signal transduction of nerve cells. The signaling pathways involving SLC17A5 are primarily linked to the functions of the nervous system and muscles. When mutations occur in SLC17A5, the function of Sialin protein is compromised, leading to abnormalities in the transport and regulation of sialic acid within cells. This dysregulation disrupts the normal signal transduction of nerve cells, triggering a range of neurological and muscular disease manifestations.
