What is s17514104 (SLC35F3) nd Why Does the Nutrient Zoomer Test for It?

Membrane nutrient transporter

SLC35F3 (s17514104) is a member of the solute carrier family that functions at cell membranes to influence cellular access to certain nutrients, including links to vitamin B1 (thiamine) handling. Measuring its status or genetic variation helps explain differences in nutrient uptake and metabolic demand when viewed with other Nutrient Zoomer results.

About s17514104 (SLC35F3)

Overview and History

SLC35F3 is part of the solute carrier (SLC) family of membrane transport proteins. Proteins in this family move small molecules across cellular membranes; SLC35F3 is encoded by the SLC35F3 gene and is expressed in multiple tissues where nutrient exchange occurs. Studies have examined SLC35F3 for roles in cellular nutrient handling, with particular attention to pathways tied to thiamine biology and cellular energy metabolism. Research into genetic variants and expression patterns has made SLC35F3 of interest for understanding why people differ in cellular nutrient availability and metabolic responses.

Interpreting Highs and Lows

Higher measured expression or variant-associated increases in SLC35F3 activity may reflect compensatory upregulation, altered regulation, or genetic differences that change transport dynamics; such patterns can coincide with shifts in cellular nutrient trafficking. Lower expression or variants linked to reduced function may suggest decreased cellular uptake of associated nutrients, even if circulating nutrient levels appear normal. Interpretation requires integration with blood nutrient measures, related transporter genes, and the full Nutrient Zoomer profile to identify meaningful patterns rather than standalone conclusions.

Featured Test

SLC35F3 is included to assess a genetic and functional contributor to nutrient transport. Evaluating its status alongside measured vitamin, mineral, and amino acid markers helps providers explain mismatches between intake and cellular availability and supports more precise nutrition planning.

s17514104 (SLC35F3) FAQs

What is s17514104 (SLC35F3) and why is it important?

SLC35F3 is a gene that makes a membrane transport protein involved in moving certain small nutrients into cells. It is studied for connections to vitamin B1 (thiamine) handling and cellular energy pathways. Understanding its status can help explain individual differences in how cells access and use nutrients.

What does it mean if my s17514104 (SLC35F3) levels are low?

Low levels or reduced function of SLC35F3 may suggest that cells have less efficient uptake of the nutrients this transporter influences, which can occur despite normal blood nutrient values. Low status may be linked to genetic variants, altered regulation, or other biological factors. Clinicians interpret this result with the full Nutrient Zoomer panel and clinical information to identify relevant patterns.

What does it mean if my s17514104 (SLC35F3) levels are high?

Higher SLC35F3 expression or activity can reflect compensatory responses, regulatory changes, or genetic differences that alter transport dynamics. Elevated status alone does not indicate a specific condition; its meaning depends on corresponding nutrient levels, other transporter markers, and overall test patterns. Full-panel context is needed for accurate interpretation.

Why is this biomarker included in the Nutrient Zoomer?

SLC35F3 provides genetic and functional insight into nutrient transport capacity. Including it helps link inherited predisposition and transporter activity with measured nutrient levels, revealing patterns that guide personalized nutrition strategies and clarify why individuals may respond differently to the same intake.
