Function
S13A2_HUMAN Low-affinity sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter, that mediates the entry of citric acid cycle intermediates, such as succinate, citrate, fumarate and alpha-ketoglutarate (2-oxoglutarate) into the small intestine and renal proximal tubule (PubMed:10894787, PubMed:9668069, PubMed:8967342). Transports the dicarboxylate into the cell with a probable stoichiometry of 3 Na(+) for 1 divalent dicarboxylate, rendering the process electrogenic (PubMed:8967342, PubMed:9668069, PubMed:10894787). Citrate is transported in protonated form as a divalent anion, rather than the trivalent form which is normally found in blood (PubMed:10894787). Has a critical role in renal dicarboxylate transport (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q9ES88][1] [2] [3]
