MFSD2

Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MFSD2A is_associated_with::gene. is_associated_with::Transmembrane protein which may be responsible for uptake and transport of is_associated_with::tunicamycin at the is_associated_with::plasma membrane.

Mfsd2a is expressed in blood vessels that form the is_associated_with::blood–brain barrier (BBB). Knockout of Mfsd2a increases results in leaky BBB and in particular is_associated_with::transcytosis without otherwise affecting tight-junctions.
