{"symbol":"SLC5A3","synonyms":["SMIT","SMIT1","SMIT2","BCW2"],"name":"solute carrier family 5 (sodium/myo-inositol cotransporter), member 3","description":"Enables myo-inositol:sodium symporter activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including inositol metabolic process; monosaccharide transmembrane transport; and myo-inositol import across plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of protein localization to membrane; positive regulation of reactive oxygen species biosynthetic process; and regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm and plasma membrane.
