SLC52A3

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Solute carrier family 52 (riboflavin transporter), member 3, formerly known as chromosome 20 open reading frame 54 and riboflavin transporter 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC52A3 gene.[1][2]

Function

This locus likely encodes a transmembrane protein that may function as a riboflavin transporter.[1][2]

Clinical significance

Mutations at this locus have been associated with Fazio–Londe disease and Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome.[3][4]
