Enables pantothenate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in endocytosis and pantothenate transmembrane transport. Located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 25; gout; porokeratosis; and sialuria. Orthologous to several human genes including SLC17A1 (solute carrier family 17 member 1); SLC17A2 (solute carrier family 17 member 2); and SLC17A3 (solute carrier family 17 member 3).
SGD Description
Plasma membrane H+-pantothenate symporter; confers sensitivity to the antifungal agent fenpropimorph; relocalizes from vacuole to cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress
