| Type: | Family | Name: | Nucleoside transporter ENT2-related, plants |
| Description: | Equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) represent a family of integral membrane proteins present in a wide range of eukaryotic organisms and mediating transport of nucleosides. In contrast to mammalian homologues which mediate an equilibrative transport of substrates along a concentration gradient, most plant ENT proteins function as substrate proton symporters, with the only known exception of ENT7 [, , ].This entry represents a subgroup of nucleoside transporters from plants that includes ENT2, ENT3, ENT4, ENT5, ENT6 and ENT7. | Short Name: | ENT2-rel_plant |
