2.A.41.2.13
Sodium-dependent and pyrimidine-selective transporter, CNT1 or SLC26A1, of 649 aas and 16 TMSs in an apparent 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 2  arrangement   (Cano-Soldado et al. 2012, Loewen et al. 1999).  It is selective for pyrimidine nucleosides and adenosine (Cano-Soldado et al. 2012). It transports uridine, cytidine, thymidine, and nucleoside-derived drugs (Yao et al. 2011), including the antiviral pyrimidine nucleoside analogs 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (ddC). It may be involved in the intestinal absorption and renal handling of pyrimidine nucleoside analogs used to treat acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and has the following selective inhibition: adenosine, thymidine, cytidine, uridine >> guanosine, inosine (Ritzel et al. 1997).
