Gene: SLC28A3

Alternate names for this Gene: CNT3

Gene Summary: Nucleoside transporters, such as SLC28A3, regulate multiple cellular processes, including neurotransmission, vascular tone, adenosine concentration in the vicinity of cell surface receptors, and transport and metabolism of nucleoside drugs. SLC28A3 shows broad specificity for pyrimidine and purine nucleosides (Ritzel et al., 2001 [PubMed 11032837]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q21.32-q21.33
