BBM, lumen-facing brush-border membrane in kidney and intestinal epithelial cells and maternal-facing brush-border membrane in placental trophoblasts; SM/BLM, blood-facing sinusoidal membrane, also called basolateral membrane, in hepatocytes; SLC, solute-linked carrier; NaS, Na+/Sulfate cotransporter; NaDC, Na+/Dicarboxylate Cotransporter; SUT1, Sulfate Transporter; NaCT, Na+-coupled Citrate Transporter; NaC, Na+/Carboxylate transporter; EIEE25, Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy-25; DEE25, Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathy; HUGO, Human Genome Organization; TCDB, Transporter Classification Database; UniProt, UniProt database for protein sequences; ID, Identification number. Each of the transporter is identified by its SLC classification according to the Human Genome Organization (e.g. SLC13A1) or by its transporter classification according to the Transporter Classification Database (e.g. 2.A.47.1.16) and the corresponding protein is identified by its amino acid sequence ID according to the UniProt database for protein sequences (e.g. Q9BZW2).
