UniProt Protein Function: | SPNS2: Sphingolipid transporter required for migration of myocardial precursors. Transports sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a secreted lipid mediator that plays critical roles in cardiovascular, immunological, and neural development and function. Mediates the export of S1P from cells in the extraembryonic yolk syncytial layer (YSL), thereby regulating myocardial precursor migration. Belongs to the major facilitator (TC 2.A.1) superfamily. Spinster (TC 2.A.1.49) family.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integralChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17p13.2Cellular Component: lysosomal membrane; vesicleMolecular Function: sphingolipid transporter activityBiological Process: locomotion |
