Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 10
Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 10 (MFSD10) is also called tetracycline transporter-like protein (TETRAN). It is expressed in various human tissues, including the kidney. In cultured cells, its overexpression facilitated the uptake of organic anions such as some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). MFSD10/TETRAN overexpression cause resistance to some NSAIDs, suggesting that it may be an organic anion transporter that serves as an efflux pump for some NSAIDs and various other organic anions at the final excretion step. MFSD10 belongs to the Eukaryotic Solute carrier 46 (SLC46)/Bacterial Tetracycline resistance (TetA) -like (SLC46/TetA-like) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of transporters. MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.
Feature 1:putative chemical substrate binding pocket [chemical binding site]
Evidence:
Comment:based on the structures of MFS transporters with bound substrates, substrate analogs, and/or inhibitors
Comment:since MFS proteins facilitate the transport of many different substrates including ions, sugar phosphates, drugs, neurotransmitters, nucleosides, amino acids, and peptides, the residues involved in substrate binding may not be strictly conserved among superfamily members
Comment:the substrate binding site or translocation pore has access to both sides of the membrane in an alternating fashion through a conformational change of the MFS transporter
