SLC23A1
SLC23A1 vitamin C transporter — the molecular target that 1 compounds in the wiki act on.
In one line: The doorway that pulls vitamin C into your cells.
SLC23A1 is a transporter that moves vitamin C into cells, where it's needed to build collagen, make certain brain chemicals, and act as an antioxidant. Your body can't make vitamin C, so you depend entirely on getting it from food or supplements and moving it inside via this doorway.
It's a reminder that vitamin C isn't just for colds — it's a required helper for building connective tissue and more.
