Enables neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity; purine nucleoside transmembrane transporter activity; and uridine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter uptake and nucleoside transport. Acts upstream of or within nucleoside transport. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hemolymphoid system; hindlimb phalanx; liver; and skeletal musculature. Used to study alcohol dependence and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. Orthologous to human SLC29A1 (solute carrier family 29 member 1 (Augustine blood group)).
