[5][6][7] The SMVT is a transporter for pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and biotin (vitamin B7) at the blood–brain barrier.
[8] It is also a transporter for lipoic acid[9] and iodide.
Transport of these nutrients is competitive[10] and a surplus of a given nutrient may saturate the transporter and prevent the uptake of other nutrients.
