*2.A.90.1.1 | The STRA6 vitamin A transporter/RBP receptor mediates cellular uptake of Vitamin A (Sun, 2011). Of 668 aas and probably 9 TMSs (Kawaguchi et al. 2015). Transport is reversible, and is probably mediated by a carrier or group translocation mechanism (Kelly and von Lintig 2015). Mechanistic features have been discussed (Kawaguchi et al. 2015), and it was concluded that energy-independent facilitated diffusion, from external retinol binding protein (RBP) to internal CRBP-1 or the corresponding CRABP (for retinoic acid) after release of the substrate into the iipid environment of the membrane or an enzyme that forms retinol esters (LRAT) provides the most probable mechanism. | Eukaryota |
Metazoa | STRA6 of Bos taurus (ABG81428) |
*2.A.90.1.2 | Stimulated by retinoic acid gene 6, STRA6 (670 aas; 8-10 TMSs predicted with N- and C-termini outside) (Kawaguchi et al., 2008). Mechanistic features have been discussed (Kawaguchi et al. 2015), and it was concluded that energy-independent facilitated diffusion, from external holo-retinol binding protein (RBP) to internal CRBP-1 or the corresponding CRABP (for retinoic acid) after release of the substrate into the iipid environment of the membrane or an enzyme that forms retinol esters (LRAT) provides the most probable mechanism. | Eukaryota |
Metazoa | STRA6 of Mus musculus (O70491) |
*2.A.90.1.3 | STRA6 of 667 aas and 9 - 12 putative TMSs (Zhong et al. 2013). Mechanistic features have been discussed (Kawaguchi et al. 2015), and it was concluded that energy-independent facilitated diffusion, from external holo-retinol binding protein (RBP) to internal CRBP-1 or the corresponding CRABP (for retinoic acid) after release of the substrate into the iipid environment of the membrane or an enzyme that forms retinol esters (LRAT) provides the most probable mechanism of transport. STRA6 binds RBP with a 1:1 stoichiometry (Breen et al. 2015). | Eukaryota |
Metazoa | STRA6 of Homo sapiens |
*2.A.90.1.4 | STRA6 of 670 aas, mediates cellular uptake of vitamin A by recognizing RBP-retinol to trigger release and internalization of retinol. Chen et al. 2016 presented the structure of zebrafish STRA6, determined to 3.9-angstrom resolution by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. STRA6 has one intramembrane and nine transmembrane helices in an intricate dimeric assembly. Calmodulin is bound tightly to STRA6 in a noncanonical arrangement. Residues involved with RBP binding map to an arch-like structure that covers a deep lipophilic cleft. This cleft is open to the membrane, suggesting a possible mode for internalization of retinol through direct diffusion into the lipid bilayer. | Eukaryota |

*2.A.90.3.1 | Harmful bloom algal protein of unknown function, of 962 aas and 16 putative TMSs. TMSs 1-5 or 6 correspond to synaptic glycoprotein SC2, possibly a sterol reductase (TC@2.A.90.3.2 and3.3), while the last 5 TMSs are homologous to TMSs 7 - 11 in the 11 TMS STRA6 protein (2.A.90.1.1). Thus, this protein may be a fusion protein. | Eukaryota |
