Solute Carriers (SLCs) represent the largest family of human transporter proteins, consisting of more than 400 members1,2. Despite the importance of these proteins in determining metabolic states and adaptation to environmental changes, a large proportion of them is still orphan and lacks associated substrates1,3,4. Here we describe a systematic mapping of genetic interactions among SLCs in human cells. Network-based identification of correlated genetic interaction profile neighborhoods resulted in initial functional assignments to dozens of previously uncharacterized SLCs. Focused validation identified SLC25A51/MCART1 as the SLC enabling mitochondrial import of NAD(H). This functional interaction map of the human transportome offers a route for systematic integration of transporter function with metabolism and provides a blueprint for elucidation of the dark genome by biochemical and functional categories.
