Full name: solute carrier family 28 member 3

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: CNT3

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]

Expression: Biased expression in gall bladder (RPKM 4.2), bone marrow (RPKM 3.2) and 11 other tissues

Gene size: 93271bp

Exon count: 22
