Function

Sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter that mediates the electrogenic transport of pantothenate, biotin, lipoate and iodide (PubMed:10329687, PubMed:15561972, PubMed:19211916, PubMed:20980265, PubMed:21570947, PubMed:22015582, PubMed:25809983, PubMed:25971966, PubMed:27904971, PubMed:28052864, PubMed:31754459). Functions as a Na(+)-coupled substrate symporter where the stoichiometry of Na(+):substrate is 2:1, creating an electrochemical Na(+) gradient used as driving force for substrate uptake (PubMed:10329687, PubMed:20980265). Required for biotin and pantothenate uptake in the intestine across the brush border membrane (PubMed:19211916). Plays a role in the maintenance of intestinal mucosa integrity, by providing the gut mucosa with biotin (By similarity). Contributes to the luminal uptake of biotin and pantothenate into the brain across the blood-brain barrier (PubMed:25809983).

Activity summary

SLC5A6 also known as the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) mechanically functions as a transmembrane protein responsible for the uptake of vital water-soluble vitamins and cofactors such as biotin pantothenic acid and lipoate. The protein has an approximate molecular mass of 72 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues with high levels observed in the intestines kidneys and placenta indicating its role in nutrient absorption and metabolic processes.

Biological function summary

SLC5A6 is essential for the efficient transport of vitamins across cell membranes using sodium gradient as the driving force. It transports vitamins into cells where they participate as coenzymes in several enzymatic reactions. This transporter does not form part of a larger protein complex but functions individually to link dietary intake with cellular nutrient requirements. The absorption through SLC5A6 impacts various biosynthetic processes as biotin and pantothenate contribute to fatty acid synthesis and energy metabolism.

Pathways

The role of SLC5A6 in nutrient absorption connects it to critical metabolic pathways such as the biotin and CoA biosynthetic pathways. Its function impacts cellular metabolism by providing essential cofactors for carboxylation reactions and energy production. SLC5A6 interacts with enzymes that rely on these vitamin-derived cofactors maintaining cellular metabolic equilibrium essential for cell growth and energy balance.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or dysfunction in SLC5A6 can lead to conditions like biotinidase deficiency which results in various neurological and dermatological symptoms. There are connections between SLC5A6 malfunctions and certain metabolic disorders due to impaired nutrient uptake linking this transporter to proteins involved in biotin metabolism. Research indicates possible associations of SLC5A6 with neurological disorders as biotin deficiency impacts brain functions and development.
