Slc12a8 is a nicotinamide mononucleotide transporter
Open accessAbstract
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a biosynthetic precursor of NAD+ known to promote cellular NAD+ production and counteract age-associated pathologies associated with a decline in tissue NAD+ levels. How NMN is taken up into cells has not been entirely clear. Here we show that the Slc12a8 gene encodes a specific NMN transporter. We find that Slc12a8 is highly expressed and regulated by NAD+ in the murine small intestine. Slc12a8 knockdown abrogates the uptake of NMN in vitro and in vivo. We further show that Slc12a8 specifically transports NMN, but not nicotinamide riboside, and that NMN transport depends on the presence of sodium ion. Slc12a8 deficiency significantly decreases NAD+ levels in the jejunum and ileum, which is associated with reduced NMN uptake as traced by doubly labeled isotopic NMN. Finally, we observe that Slc12a8 expression is upregulated in the aged murine ileum, which contributes to the maintenance of ileal NAD+ levels. Our work identifies the first NMN transporter and demonstrates that Slc12a8 has a critical role in regulating intestinal NAD+ metabolism.

In the citing paper
“A newly reported NMN transporter, the Slc12a8, is highly expressed and regulated by NAD+, in the murine small intestine, and Slc12a8 deficiency abrogates the uptake of NMN in vitro and in vivo (Grozio et al., 2019).”
From NAD+ in Brain Aging and Neurodegenerative Disorders (2019) · cites this paper as Grozio et al., 2019
In the citing paper
“through a transporter called slc12a8, 26-month-old mice (equivalent to 70 human years) that took NMN increased their NAD+ levels to close to 3 months old (equivalent to 12 human months). The content level in young mice increased the cell energy in aged mice [208].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
