nac-1 encodes a low-affinity sodium-coupled dicarboxylate transporter homologous to INDY in D. melanogaster and to mammalian NaDC1 and NaDC3; nac-1 is expressed in the intestine, in larvae and adults.
Enables low-affinity sodium:dicarboxylate symporter activity and succinate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in succinate transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in alimentary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 25. Is an ortholog of human SLC13A2 (solute carrier family 13 member 2) and SLC13A5 (solute carrier family 13 member 5).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
