enzyme regulation:Inhibited by formycin B.,function:Sodium-dependent and purine-selective transporter. Exhibits the transport characteristics of the nucleoside transport system cif or N1 subtype (N1/cif) (selective for purine nucleosides and uridine). Plays a critical role in specific uptake and salvage of purine nucleosides in kidney and other tissues.,similarity:Belongs to the concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT) (TC 2.A.41) family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in heart and skeletal muscle followed by liver, kidney, intestine, pancreas, placenta and brain.
