Major Facilitator Superfamily; The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) is a large and diverse group of secondary transporters that includes uniporters, symporters, and antiporters. MFS proteins facilitate the transport across cytoplasmic or internal membranes of a variety of substrates including ions, sugar phosphates, drugs, neurotransmitters, nucleosides, amino acids, and peptides. They do so using the electrochemical potential of the transported substrates. Uniporters transport a single substrate, while symporters and antiporters transport two substrates in the same or in opposite directions, respectively, across membranes. MFS proteins are typically 400 to 600 amino acids in length, and the majority contain 12 transmembrane alpha helices (TMs) connected by hydrophilic loops. The N- and C-terminal halves of these proteins display weak similarity and may be the result of a gene duplication/fusion event. Based on kinetic studies and the structures of a few bacterial superfamily members, GlpT (glycerol-3-phosphate transporter), LacY (lactose permease), and EmrD (multidrug transporter), MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement. Bacterial members function primarily for nutrient uptake, and as drug-efflux pumps to confer antibiotic resistance. Some MFS proteins have medical significance in humans such as the glucose transporter Glut4, which is impaired in type II diabetes, and glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT), which causes glycogen storage disease when mutated.

Oxalate:formate antiporter (OFA) and similar proteins of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; This subfamily is composed of Oxalobacter formigenes oxalate:formate antiporter (OFA or OxlT) and similar proteins. O. formigenes, a commensal found in the gut of animals and humans, plays an important role in clearing dietary oxalate from the intestinal tract, which is carried out by OFA/OxlT, an anion transporter that facilitates the exchange of divalent oxalate with monovalent formate, the product of oxalate decarboxylation. This exchange generates an electrochemical proton gradient and is the source of energy for ATP synthesis in this cell. The OFA-like subfamily belongs to the Monocarboxylate transporter -like (MCT-like) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins. MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

Bacterial fucose permease, eukaryotic Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 4, and similar proteins; This family is composed of bacterial L-fucose permease (FucP), eukaryotic Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 4 (MFSD4) proteins, and similar proteins. L-fucose permease facilitates the uptake of L-fucose across the boundary membrane with the concomitant transport of protons into the cell; it can also transport L-galactose and D-arabinose. The MFSD4 subfamily consists of two vertebrate members: MFSD4A and MFSD4B. The function of MFSD4A is unknown. MFSD4B is more commonly know as Sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (NaGLT1), a primary fructose transporter in rat renal brush-border membranes that also facilitates sodium-independent urea uptake. The FucP/MFSD4 family belongs to the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins, which are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.

Plant Polyol transporter family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily of transporters; The plant Polyol transporter (PLT) subfamily includes PLT1-6 from Arabidopsis thaliana and similar transporters. The best characterized member of the group is Polyol transporter 5, also called Sugar-proton symporter PLT5, which mediates the H+-symport of numerous substrates including linear polyols (such as sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol or glycerol), cyclic polyol myo-inositol, and different hexoses, pentoses (including ribose), tetroses, and sugar alcohols. It functions to transport a wide range of substrates into specific sink tissues in the plant. The PLT subfamily belongs to the Glucose transporter -like (GLUT-like) family of the Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) of membrane transport proteins. MFS proteins are thought to function through a single substrate binding site, alternating-access mechanism involving a rocker-switch type of movement.
