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.

Solute carrier family 22, member 17 of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; Solute carrier family 22, member 17 (SLC22A17) is also called 24p3 receptor (24p3R), lipocalin-2 receptor, or neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) receptor (NGALR). It functions as a cell surface receptor for lipocalin-2 (LCN2), also called NGAL or 24p3, which plays a key role in iron homeostasis and transport. LCN2 is a secreted protein of the lipocalin family that induces apoptosis in some types of cells and inhibits bacterial growth by sequestration of the iron-laden bacterial siderophore. Over-expressions of NGAL and NGALR have been found to be correlated with unfavorable clinicopathologic features and poor prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. SLC22A17 is a member of the SLC22 family of organic cation/anion/zwitterion transporters, which includes organic cation transporters (OCTs/OCTNs) and organic anion transporters (OATs). It 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.

Organic anion transporters of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; Organic anion transporters (OATs) generally display broad substrate specificity and they facilitate the exchange of extracellular with intracellular organic anions (OAs). Several OATs have been characterized including OAT1-10 and urate anion exchanger 1 (URAT1, also called SLC22A12). Many OATs occur in renal proximal tubules, the site of active drug secretion. OATs mediate the absorption, distribution, and excretion of a diverse array of environmental toxins, and clinically important drugs, including anti-HIV therapeutics, anti-tumor drugs, antibiotics, anti-hypertensives, and anti-inflammatories, and therefore is critical for the survival of the mammalian species.

GLUTs, also called Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporters (SLC2A), are a family of proteins that facilitate the transport of hexoses such as glucose and fructose. There are fourteen GLUTs found in humans; they display different substrate specificities and tissue expression. They have been categorized into three classes based on sequence similarity: Class 1 (GLUTs 1-4, 14); Class 2 (GLUTs 5, 7, 9, and 11); and Class 3 (GLUTs 6, 8, 10, 12, and HMIT). Insect Tret1-1 is a low-capacity facilitative transporter for trehalose that mediates the transport of trehalose synthesized in the fat body and the incorporation of trehalose into other tissues that require a carbon source. GLUT proteins are comprised of about 500 amino acid residues, possess a single N-linked oligosaccharide, and have 12 transmembrane segments. They belong to the Glucose transporter -like (GLUT-like) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins.

OCT1-3 have similar basic functional properties: they are able to translocate a variety of structurally different organic cations in both directions across the plasma membrane; to translocate organic cations independently from sodium, chloride or proton gradients; and to function as electrogenic uniporters for cations or as electroneutral cation exchangers. They show overlapping but distinct substrate and inhibitor specificities, and different tissue expression pattern. In humans, OCT1 is strongly expressed in the liver, OCT2 is highly expressed in the kidney where it is localized at the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubules, and OCT3 is most strongly expressed in skeletal muscle. OCTs are broad-specificity transporters that play a critical role in the excretion and distribution of endogeneous organic cations and for the uptake, elimination and distribution of cationic drugs, toxins, and environmental waste products. The SLC22A1-3 subfamily belongs to the Solute carrier 22 (SLC22) family of organic cation/anion/zwitterion transporters of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins.

Synaptic vesicle 2-related protein (SVOP) and related proteins of the Major Facilitator Superfamily; This subfamily is composed of synaptic vesicle 2 (SV2)-related protein (SVOP), SVOP-like protein (SVOPL), and similar proteins. SVOP is a transporter-like nucleotide binding protein that localizes to neurotransmitter-containing vesicles. Like SV2, SVOP is expressed in all brain regions, with highest levels in cerebellum, hindbrain and pineal gland. Studies with knockout mice suggets that SVOP may perform a subtle function that is not necessary for survival under normal conditions, since mice lacking SVOP are viable, fertile, and phenotypically normal. SVOP and SVOPL share structural similarity to the solute carrier family 22 (SLC22), a large family of organic cation and anion transporters. The SVOP-like subfamily belongs to the Metazoan Synaptic Vesicle Glycoprotein 2 (SV2) and related small molecule transporter family (SV2-like) 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.

BoNT/A blocks neurotransmitter release by cleaving synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kD (SNAP-25) within presynaptic nerve terminals. Also included in this family is synaptic vesicle 2 (SV2)-related protein (SVOP) and similar proteins. SVOP is a transporter-like nucleotide binding protein that localizes to neurotransmitter-containing vesicles.
