Unc-93 homolog A (C. elegans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UNC93A gene.^[5]

Quick Facts Identifiers, Aliases ...

Unc93A is a major facilitator superfamily (MFS), and a putative solute carrier in humans.^[6]^[7] It belongs to the atypical SLCs that was recently listed.^[6] It is therefore presumed that UNC93A is a transporter protein.

UNC93A is closely related to UNC93B1 and MFSD11.^[8]^[9]

UNC93A is affected by amino acid deprivation in cell cortex cultures^[7]^[8] and starvation in in vivo samples.^[8]

It is expressed in neurons, with staining close to the plasma membrane.^[8]
