Gene:
solute carrier family 2 (facilitated glucose transporter), member 9
Gene ID:
202615
Symbol:
SLC2A9
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
