| LOCUS ID | 56606 |
| GENE_SYMBOL | SLC2A9 |
| GENE NAME | solute carrier family 2 member 9 |
| SYNONYMNS | GLUT9 GLUTX UAQTL2 URATv1 |
| CHROMOSOME | 4 |
| HOMOLOGENE ID | 69290 |
| GENE 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.
