Solute carrier family 17 (anion/sugar transporter), member 5, also known as SLC17A5 or sialin, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC17A5 gene.
Clinical significance
A deficiency of this protein causes Salla disease.
The gene for HP59 contains, entirely within its coding region, the Sialin Gene SLC17A5. Member 5, also known as SLC17A5 or sialin is a lysosomal membrane sialic acid transport protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC17A5 gene on Chromosome 6
