- Description
SLC13A1, also known as NaS1, is one of the members of the solute carrier family (sodium/sulfate symporters) and has a role in mediating sulfate reabsorption in the kidney. It appears to be involved in kidney disease.
Knockout NaS1 mice (Nas1 -/- ) were found to live longer and have less tumors in aged mice. Median lifespans was increased in both male and female mice when compared with wild type [2172]. Similar results were observed for orthologs of SLC13A1 in flies [2173] and worm [2174]. Therefore, results from model systems support a role for SLC13A1 in ageing, although further studies are necessary to determine if it also plays a role in human ageing.
