NCIt synonyms : Solute Carrier Family 46 (Folate Transporter), Member 1 wt Allele; HCP1; PCFT; MGC9564; G21; PCFT/HCP1; hPCFT; HsPCFT;
NCIt definition : Human SLC46A1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17q11.2 and is approximately
13 kb in length. This allele, which encodes proton-coupled folate transporter protein,
is involved in transport of both folate and antifolate across the plasma membrane,
and heme transport in duodenal enterocytes. Mutations in this gene are associated
with hereditary folate malabsorption.;
