  • highly GC-rich sites, and multiple putative regulatory cis-elements (e.g., AP1, AP2, C/EBP, SP1, NF1, and GATA)
  • mutation of specific cis-regulatory elements [Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF-4) and activator protein-2 (AP-2)] led to a decrease in promoter activity in all intestinal cell types but not in renal cells (

    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the upstake of pentothenate, biotin, lipoate
  • biotin uptake by human renal epithelial cells occurs via the SLC5A6 system and the process is regulated by intracellular PKC- and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-mediated pathways
  • mediates sodium-dependent uptake of biotin in renal and intestinal epithelia
  • involved in intestinal absorption of biotin occuring via a Na(+)-dependent carrier-mediated process
  • may play an important role in the homeostasis of Iode in the body (MID: 20980265)
