2.A.48.1.4
Thiamine (and biotin) transporter-2, ThTr-2, of 496 aas and 12 TMSs. Downregulated in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in heart, liver, and brain causing malabsorption (Bukhari et al., 2011).  Activated by microtubules but not microfilaments  (Subramanian et al. 2013). Activated by direct interaction with the 4 TMS protein, TM4 of the L6 family, member 4, TM4SF4 (P48230) (Subramanian et al. 2014). Mutations result in thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome 2, also known as biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease (BTBGD). This neurometabolic disease typically presents in early childhood with progressive neurodegeneration, including confusion, seizures, and dysphagia, advancing to coma and death (Whitford et al. 2017).
