MFSD2A MFSD2 lysolipid transporter A, lysophospholipid [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 84879)

Symbol: MFSD2A

Full name: MFSD2 lysolipid transporter A, lysophospholipid

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: HsMFSD2A; MCPH15; MFSD2; NEDMISBA; NLS1; SLC59A1

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane protein and sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine transporter. The encoded protein is involved in the establishment of the blood-brain barrier and is required for brain growth and function. Defects in this gene are a cause of a progressive microcephaly syndrome.
