Solute carrier family 17 (anion/sugar transporter), member 5, also known as SLC17A5 or sialin, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC17A5 gene.

Clinical significance

A deficiency of this protein causes Salla disease.

The gene for HP59 contains, entirely within its coding region, the Sialin Gene SLC17A5. Member 5, also known as SLC17A5 or sialin is a lysosomal membrane sialic acid transport protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC17A5 gene on Chromosome 6

    Green Gardens, Cold Montreal

    by: Sloan

    Green gardens, cold Montreal
    Crooked pictures that hang in the hall
    It's the golden day, golden day, gold, you recall on cue
    Oooh, it's old news.
    When the world revolved around you, yeah
    Faculty members agreed to a certain degree
    And the girl that followed the rules, yeah
    Looked good on paper, but lacked a central theme
    The coffee could use more cream
    Friends blow away, blow away, blow like a cloud
    Kids go away, go away, go, it's allowed
    And all of the days spent close to your crowd were few
    To the girl that followed the rules, yeah
    It looked good on paper, and gave it a college try
    Now the ink and her humour is dry
    Friends blow away, blow away, blow like a cloud
    Kids go away, go away, go, it's allowed
    And all of the days spent close to her crowd are through
    Oooh, it's the truth
