SLC35F3: A Protein Regulating Sodium Ion Transmission

SLC35F3, also known as FLJ37712, is a protein that is expressed in various tissues of the body, including the brain, heart, and kidneys. It is a member of the sodium channel subfamily 3, which is a family of proteins that play a critical role in the transmission of electrical signals through cells.

SLC35F3 is unique because of its structure and function. It is made up of 128 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 11.9 kDa. It is also able to form a transmembrane channel that is responsible for the regulation of the flow of sodium ions into and out of cells.

SLC35F3 is expressed in many different tissues of the body, including the brain, where it is found in the ratiocapillaris lignin granules (RCS) neurons. These neurons are responsible for the production of a variety of compounds, including neurotransmitters that are involved in communication between different parts of the brain.

SLC35F3 is also expressed in the heart, where it is found in the cardiac muscle cells. This suggests that it may be involved in the regulation of the contractions of the heart.

SLC35F3 is also expressed in the kidneys, where it is found in the podocytes. These cells are responsible for the regulation of the flow of water and electrolytes out of the kidneys.

SLC35F3 is thought to be a drug target because of its involvement in the regulation of various physiological processes. For example, it is involved in the regulation of the flow of sodium ions into and out of cells, which may be important for the regulation of muscle contractions, heart rate, and blood pressure.

In addition, SLC35F3 may also be involved in the regulation of other processes in the body, such as the production of neurotransmitters and the regulation of ion channels in the brain.

Overall, SLC35F3 is a unique protein that is expressed in a variety of tissues of the body. Its structure and function suggest that it may be a drug target or biomarker that can be used to study a wide range of physiological processes in the body.
