    basic FUNCTION
  • transports hydrophilic nucleosides, nucleobases and nucleoside analogue drugs across cell membranes
  • functions as a pH-dependent transporter of nucleosides across the lysosomal membrane
  • late endosomal/lysosomal transporter involved in the export of nucleosides from the lysosomal interior
  • having broad nucleoside selectivity (uridine, ademosine and cytidine) and most likely functioning to transport nucleosides across intracellular membranes, in acidic, intracellular compartments
  • involved in mitochondrial transport and may play an important role in mediating clinically observed mitochondrial toxicity of nucleoside drugs
  • playing a role in glucose metabolism is a priority for diabetes research
  • acidic pH-dependent nucleoside transporter
  • essential transmembrane transporter to maintain lysosome integrity by regulating nucleoside trafficking
  • potential role in the control of osteoclast differentiation and function
