SLC11A1
SLC11A1 (NRAMP1), gene at 2q35 encoding a macrophage phagolysosomal proton-coupled divalent metal transporter central to innate resistance against Mycobacterium, Salmonella, and Leishmania.
SLC12A2
SLC12A2 (NKCC1, BSC2) is a human gene on chromosome 5q23.3 encoding the ubiquitous Na-K-2Cl cotransporter NKCC1, a bumetanide-inhibited chloride importer; loss-of-function variants cause hearing, brain, and multiorgan disorders.
SLC12A3
SLC12A3 is the human gene encoding the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter NCC, which reabsorbs salt in the kidney distal tubule, is targeted by thiazide diuretics, and causes Gitelman syndrome when mutated.
SLC16A1
SLC16A1 (MCT1) is a human gene at 1p13.2 encoding monocarboxylate transporter 1, a proton-coupled transporter of lactate, pyruvate, and ketone bodies; loss-of-function variants cause ketoacidosis, promoter mutations cause exercise-induced hyperinsulinism.
SLC16A2
SLC16A2, also called MCT8, is an Xq13.2 gene encoding a 12-transmembrane thyroid hormone transporter; mutations cause X-linked Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome with high serum T3 and severe neurological impairment.

SLC18A2
SLC18A2 (VMAT2, PKDYS2), gene at 10q25.3 encoding the vesicular monoamine transporter 2, a proton-coupled antiporter loading dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine into synaptic vesicles; biallelic variants cause infantile parkinsonism-dystonia.
SLC19A2
SLC19A2 (THTR-1, thiamine transporter 1) is a human gene on chromosome 1q23.3 encoding a 497-amino-acid, 12-transmembrane high-affinity thiamine transporter; mutations cause thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome with diabetes and deafness.
SLC1A1
SLC1A1 (EAAT3, EAAC1) is a human gene on 9p24.2 encoding a trimeric, sodium-coupled high-affinity glutamate, aspartate, and cysteine transporter; loss-of-function mutations cause dicarboxylic aminoaciduria, and the transporter is a kidney-cancer metabolic target.
SLC1A3
SLC1A3 (EAAT1, GLAST) is a human chromosome 5 gene encoding a glial glutamate transporter and chloride channel; pathogenic variants cause episodic ataxia type 6, migraine, and neuropsychiatric associations.
SLC22A12
SLC22A12 (URAT1) is a human gene on chromosome 11 encoding a renal urate-anion exchanger; loss-of-function mutations cause renal hypouricemia type 1, and the protein is the target of uricosuric gout drugs.
SLC22A2
SLC22A2 (OCT2), human gene at 6q25.3 encoding organic cation transporter 2, a 555-amino-acid electrogenic uniporter in renal proximal tubules that clears cationic drugs such as metformin; key variant rs316019 (Ala270Ser).
SLC22A4
SLC22A4 (OCTN1, ergothioneine transporter ETT) is a human chromosome 5q31.1 gene encoding a polyspecific transporter of organic cations and zwitterions; variants are associated with Crohn's disease and hematologic traits.
