Solute carrier family 6, member 20 also known as SLC6A20 is a gene[5][6] that encodes for the Sodium/imino-acid transporter 1 (SIT1) protein, a plasma membrane proline and glycine transporter.[7]

Function

The Sodium/imino-acid transporter 1 (SIT1) protein is a member of the solute carrier superfamily of transport proteins. SIT1 is a Na+ and Cl coupled symporter,[8] like other SLC6 amino acid and amine transporters, and a homolog of the Bacterial Leucine Transporter.[9]

Among the SLC6 transporters, only SIT1 and SLC6A7 (PROT) prefer secondary amino acids.[8] This selectivity arises due to the shape and highly conserved residues of the protein's binding site to exclude residues with extended site chains.[10]

Natively, SIT1 forms a complex with ACE2 or collectrin, which assists in trafficking the transporter to the plasma membrane.[11]

Clinical significance

Mutation in the SLC6A20 gene are associated with iminoglycinuria.[12][9]

One of a cluster of 6 genes (SLC6A20, LZTFL1, CCR9, FYCO1, CXCR6 and XCR1) on chromosome 3 at location 3p21.31 associated with a genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 respiratory failure.[13][14][15] Of these, SIT1 expression can control ACE2 trafficking to the plasma membrane and thereby SLC6A20 gene variants are proposed to alter the availability of viral receptors on the cell surface.[16]

SIT1 is proposed to modulate the activity of glycine and NMDA receptors,[17] and variants in the SLC6A20 gene are associated with Hirschprung's disease.[18][19][20]

SIT1 is also the primary proline transporter in the retinal pigment epithelium[21] and supports the proline-dependent metabolism of these cells.[22] Consequently, SLC6A20 gene variants are associated with retinal thickness[23] and the retinal diseases Age-Related Macular Degeneration[24] and Macular telangiectasia.[25]
