Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionfolt-2 encodes a putative folate transporter; FOLT-2 is orthologous to the human folate transporters SLC19A1, SLC19A2, and SLC19A3 (Solute Carrier Family 19 (thiamine transporter), Member 1, 2 or 3); heterologously expressed FOLT-2 does not significantly transport folate; FOLT-2 does not seem to have any obvious function, perhaps because of genetic redundancy with its paralogs, FOLT-1 and FOLT-3.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00029344

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable folic acid binding activity and vitamin transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease. Is an ortholog of human SLC19A3 (solute carrier family 19 member 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceC. elegans FOLT-1 is orthologous to the human folate transporters SLC19A1, SLC19A2 and SLC19A3; mutations in the human SLC19A3 folate transporter have been associated with Thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome, or Biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease, a disorder that affects the nervous system, characterized by movement disorders that include involuntary tensing of various muscles (dystonia), muscle rigidity, muscle weakness, problems coordinating movements (ataxia), and exaggerated reflexes (hyperreflexia); mutations in SLC19A2 have been associated with Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome, a rare condition characterized by hearing loss, diabetes, and a blood disorder called megaloblastic anemia which occurs when a person has a low number of red blood cells (anemia), and the remaining red blood cells are larger than normal (megaloblastic); as in other species, studies in elegans show that the elegans gene folt-1 is required for fertility, specifically for proper germline formation, proper oogenesis normal male sperm numbers; and normal life-span; folt-2 and folt-3 in elegans, do not seem to have any obvious function, perhaps because of genetic redundancy with FOLT-1.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00029344

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
