Gene Description

Slc13a2 encodes the apical low-affinity sodium/dicarboxylate cotransporter NaDC-1, transporting citric-acid-cycle dicarboxylates such as succinate, citrate, fumarate, and alpha-ketoglutarate with sodium. The review accepts substrate-specific transporter and transport terms, keeps membrane localization as non-core, and marks lithium response as assay-context activity regulation rather than a gene response process.

GO:0071285 cellular response to lithium ion
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: cellular response to lithium ion is marked as over-annotated for Slc13a2; the evidence supports the gene's core activity or context, not this broader process claim (IBA, GO_REF:0000033).
Reason: Lithium is an assay-context cation competitor/inhibitor for Slc13a2-mediated dicarboxylate transport, not evidence that Slc13a2 mediates a cellular response to lithium ion. Treat the GOA row as an over-annotation of transport-assay conditions.

The IBD at PTN008496849 (PTHR10283, snapshot 20230926) is seeded by rat Slc13a2 itself (RGD:61920; IDA from the cloning paper PMID:9691021) and human SLC13A2 (UniProtKB:Q13183) β€” both reflecting Li+ sensitivity/inhibition of Na+-dicarboxylate cotransport assays. The node placement is not in question; the term scoping is β€” Li+ acting as a cation competitor in transport assays is an assay condition, not evidence that these transporters mediate a cellular response to lithium ion, so the mis-scoped term propagates with the IBD.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: cellular response to lithium ion is marked as over-annotated for Slc13a2; the evidence supports the gene's core activity or context, not this broader process claim (IDA, PMID:9691021).
Reason: Lithium is an assay-context cation competitor/inhibitor for Slc13a2-mediated dicarboxylate transport, not evidence that Slc13a2 mediates a cellular response to lithium ion. Treat the GOA row as an over-annotation of transport-assay conditions.

ACCEPT
Summary: succinate transmembrane transport is retained for Slc13a2 because it matches the documented core molecular role or a direct pathway consequence (IDA, PMID:9694847).
Reason: This term is directly supported by Slc13a2 sodium-coupled dicarboxylate transport of succinate, citrate, fumarate, and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Core Functions

Slc13a2 is an apical sodium:dicarboxylate symporter for succinate, citrate, fumarate, and alpha-ketoglutarate.

Supporting Evidence:
  • UniProtKB:P70545
    Mediates entry of succinate, citrate, fumarate and alpha-ketoglutarate; transports dicarboxylate with probable 3 Na(+) stoichiometry.
  • file:rat/Slc13a2/Slc13a2-deep-research-falcon.md
    Across mammalian NaDC1 orthologs, NaDC1 shows preference for **divalent Krebs-cycle anions**, with **high affinity for succinate** and generally **lower affinity for citrate**; recent work and reviews describe NaDC1 as mediating **Na+-dependent cotransport of citrate and succinate** in kidney and intestine.
