Unc-93 homolog A (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC93A gene .[1]
Unc93A is a major facilitator superfamily (MFS), and a putative solute carrier in humans.[2] [3] atypical SLCs that was recently listed.[2]
UNC93A is closely related to Unc93B1 and MFSD11 .[4] [5]
UNC93A is affected by amino acid deprivation in cell cortex cultures[3] [4] in vivo samples.[4]
It is expressed in neurons, with staining close to the plasma membrane.[4]
