Protein Domain : IPR004742

Type:  Family Name:  Sialic acid transporter
Description:  The sugar transporters belong to a family of membrane proteins responsible for the transport of various sugars in a wide range of prokaryotic andeukaryotic organisms []. These integral membrane proteins arepredicted to comprise twelve membrane spanning domains. It is likely that the transporters have evolved from an ancient protein present in living organismsbefore the divergence into prokaryotes and eukaryotes []. In mammals,these proteins are expressed in a number of organs []. Proteins transporting sugars and other substrates are related in this broader family.Sialic acid transporters belong to this group. Short Name:  SA_transporter
