Slc13a5 - solute carrier family 13 (sodium-dependent citrate transporter), member 5

Enables citrate transmembrane transporter activity; organic acid:sodium symporter activity; and succinate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in carboxylic acid transport and cellular response to lithium ion. Acts upstream of or within succinate transport and tricarboxylic acid transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is expressed in forelimb and humerus cartilage condensation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 25. Orthologous to human SLC13A5 (solute carrier family 13 member 5).
