SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	playing an important role in the cellular utilization of citrate in blood for the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol (liver) and for the generation of energy (liver and brain)
	may be facilitating the utilization of circulating citrate for the generation of metabolic energy and for the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol
	tricarboxylate plasma transporter with a preference for citrate
	primarily a citrate transporter located in the liver and brain, and its activity may regulate metabolic processes
	CREB-dependent glucagon target gene that is induced in fasting and in type 2 diabetes

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	Nact (also known as Slc13a5)-knockout mice have been found to have increased hepatic mitochondrial biogenesis, higher lipid oxidation and energy expenditure, and reduced lipogenesis, which taken together protect the mice from obesity and insulin resistance
	mIndy was induced in livers of fasted as well as in high-fat-diet-streptozotocin diabetic rats, in which Creb is constitutively activated. mIndy induction was completely prevented when Creb was depleted in these rats by antisense oligonucleotides
