Symbol: SLC2A9
Full name: solute carrier family 2 member 9
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: GLUT9; GLUTX; UAQTL2; URATv1
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the SLC2A facilitative glucose transporter family. Members of this family play a significant role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. The encoded protein may play a role in the development and survival of chondrocytes in cartilage matrices. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
