SLC2A9( Human )
solute carrier family 2 member 9
Alias
GLUT9|GLUTX|UAQTL2|URATv1
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.
