Overview of Gene Research
Slc23a4, also known as sodium-dependent nucleobase transporter 1 (SNBT1), is a gene encoding a sodium-dependent nucleobase transporter. It is involved in the absorption of nucleobases and their analogs in the small intestine, playing a crucial role in the transport and metabolism of nucleobases which are key components of nucleosides and nucleic acids [2,3].
In mice, the targeting of the Slc23a4 gene in Xdh -deficient mice (Xdh(- / -)) was found to be necessary for their survival. Hprt(high)Xdh(- / -)Slc23a4(- / -) mice had a longer lifespan and reached adulthood compared to Xdh(- / -) mice that die of renal failure before 8 weeks of age. These double -knockout mice also had distinct urinary xanthine and hypoxanthine excretion patterns and ratios, along with renal impairment, high plasma creatinine levels, and anemia [1].
In conclusion, Slc23a4 is essential for the intestinal absorption of nucleobases. Gene -knockout mouse models, such as the Hprt(high)Xdh(- / -)Slc23a4(- / -) mice, have revealed its significance in the survival of Xdh -deficient mice and provided insights into the role of Slc23a4 in maintaining normal physiological function related to nucleobase metabolism and preventing renal -related pathologies.
