Slc29a1 - solute carrier family 29 (nucleoside transporters), member 1

Enables AMP transmembrane transporter activity; neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity; and purine nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in adenosine transport; neurotransmitter uptake; and purine nucleoside transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within nucleoside transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hemolymphoid system; hindlimb phalanx; liver; and skeletal musculature. Used to study alcohol dependence and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Orthologous to human SLC29A1 (solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group)).
