  • a potential role for specific cysteine residues in the cell surface expression of SLC52A3 in human intestinal epithelial cells (
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the synthesis of molecules with pivotal role in cell energy metabolism
  • could transport riboflavin efficiently, and may play a role in the intestinal absorption of riboflavin
  • involved in the intestinal absorption of riboflavin (
  • transporter involved in the epithelial uptake of riboflavin in the small intestine for its nutritional utilization (
  • responsible for transporting riboflavin, and deficiency of riboflavin has been documented as a risk factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)
  • likely to have an important role in esophageal and gastric cardia carcinogenesis that involves modulating riboflavin absorption
  • is involved in intestinal absorption of vitamin B2
