SLC5A6 - solute carrier family 5 member 6
Function
Sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter that transports pantothenate, biotin and lipoate (PubMed:10329687, PubMed:15561972, PubMed:21570947, PubMed:20980265, PubMed:22927035, PubMed:22015582, PubMed:25971966, PubMed:25809983, PubMed:28052864, PubMed:27904971, PubMed:31754459). Required for biotin and pantothenate uptake in the instestine (By similarity). Plays a role in the maintenance of intestinal mucosa integrity, by providing the gut mucosa with biotin (By similarity). May play a role in the transport of biotin and pantothenate into the brain across the blood-brain barrier (PubMed:25809983). May also be involved in the sodium-dependent transport of iodide ions (PubMed:20980265).
