Major Facilitator Superfamily; The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) is a large and diverse group of secondary transporters that includes uniporters, symporters, and antiporters. MFS proteins facilitate the transport across cytoplasmic or internal membranes of a variety of substrates including ions, sugar phosphates, drugs, neurotransmitters, nucleosides, amino acids, and peptides. They do so using the electrochemical potential of the transported substrates. Uniporters transport a single substrate, while symporters and antiporters transport two substrates in the same or in opposite directions, respectively, across membranes. MFS proteins are typically 400 to 600 amino acids in length, and the majority contain 12 transmembrane alpha helices (TMs) connected by hydrophilic loops. The N- and C-terminal halves of these proteins display weak similarity and may be the result of a gene duplication/fusion event. Based on kinetic studies and the structures of a few bacterial superfamily members, GlpT (glycerol-3-phosphate transporter), LacY (lactose permease), and EmrD (multidrug transporter), MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement. Bacterial members function primarily for nutrient uptake, and as drug-efflux pumps to confer antibiotic resistance. Some MFS proteins have medical significance in humans such as the glucose transporter Glut4, which is impaired in type II diabetes, and glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT), which causes glycogen storage disease when mutated.

Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 1; Human major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 1 (MFSD1) is also called smooth muscle cell-associated protein 4 (SMAP-4). The function of MFSD1 is still unknown. Its expression is affected by altered nutrient intake. During starvation, expression of MFSD1 is downregulated in anterior brain sections in mice while it is upregulated in the brainstem. In mice raised on high-fat diet, MFSD1 is specifically downregulated in brainstem and hypothalamus. MFSD1 belongs to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

bacterial MdtG-like and eukaryotic solute carrier 18 (SLC18) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; This family is composed of eukaryotic solute carrier 18 (SLC18) family transporters and related bacterial multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters including several proteins from Escherichia coli such as multidrug resistance protein MdtG, from Bacillus subtilis such as multidrug resistance proteins 1 (Bmr1) and 2 (Bmr2), and from Staphylococcus aureus such as quinolone resistance protein NorA. The family also includes Escherichia coli arabinose efflux transporters YfcJ and YhhS. MDR transporters are drug/H+ antiporters (DHA) that mediate the efflux of a variety of drugs and toxic compounds, and confer resistance to these compounds. The SLC18 transporter family includes vesicular monoamine transporters (VAT1 and VAT2), vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), and SLC18B1, which is proposed to be a vesicular polyamine transporter (VPAT). The MdtG/SLC18 family belongs to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

Oxalate:formate antiporter (OFA) and similar proteins of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; This subfamily is composed of Oxalobacter formigenes oxalate:formate antiporter (OFA or OxlT) and similar proteins. O. formigenes, a commensal found in the gut of animals and humans, plays an important role in clearing dietary oxalate from the intestinal tract, which is carried out by OFA/OxlT, an anion transporter that facilitates the exchange of divalent oxalate with monovalent formate, the product of oxalate decarboxylation. This exchange generates an electrochemical proton gradient and is the source of energy for ATP synthesis in this cell. The OFA-like subfamily belongs to the Monocarboxylate transporter -like (MCT-like) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins. MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

Salmonella enterica Na+/melibiose symporter MelB and similar transporters of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; This family is composed of Salmonella enterica Na+/melibiose symporter MelB, Major Facilitator Superfamily domain-containing proteins, MFSD2 and MFSD12, and other sugar transporters. MelB catalyzes the electrogenic symport of galactosides with Na+, Li+ or H+. The MFSD2 subfamily is composed of two vertebrate members, MFSD2A and MFSD2B. MFSD2A is more commonly called sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine symporter 1 (NLS1). It is an LPC symporter that plays an essential role for blood-brain barrier formation and function. Inactivating mutations in MFSD2A cause a lethal microcephaly syndrome. MFSD2B is a potential risk or protect factor in the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. MelB-like family belongs to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.
