SLC35F1

Solute carrier family 35, member F1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC35F1 gene.[1] The gene is also known as C6orf169 or dJ230I3.1.[1]

Model organisms have been used in the study of SLC35F1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Slc35f1^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi}[6][7] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[8][9][10]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[4][11] Twenty five tests were carried out on mutant mice but no significant abnormalities were observed.[4]
