Unc93A is a major facilitator superfamily (MFS), and a putative solute carrier in humans.[6][7] It belongs to the atypical SLCs that was recently listed.[6] It is therefore presumed that UNC93A is a transporter protein.

UNC93A is closely related to UNC93B1 and MFSD11.[8][9]

UNC93A is affected by amino acid deprivation in cell cortex cultures[7][8] and starvation in in vivo samples.[8]

It is expressed in neurons, with staining close to the plasma membrane.[8]
