Gene:
solute carrier family 33 (acetyl-CoA transporter), member 1
Gene ID:
195236
Symbol:
SLC33A1
Species:
1000
Description:
The encoded protein is required for the formation of O-acetylated (Ac) gangliosides. It is predicted to contain 6 to 10 transmembrane domains, and a leucine zipper motif in transmembrane domain III. Studies indicate that the protein is localized to the cytoplasm.
