FAMILY

SLC29A transporter family

CATEGORY

transport carrier

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleolus

basic FUNCTION	bidirectional transporter that is involved in the disposition of naturally occurring nucleosides as well as a variety of anticancer and antiviral nucleoside analogs
	nucleobase transporter
	crucial to maintain physiological plasma levels of adenosine, thus modulating its several biological effects through adenosine receptor activation (Escudero 2008)
	prominent nucleoside transporters which are responsible for antitumor nucleoside uptake (Endo 2007)
